Subject: accept-process-output milliseconds vs. microseconds

Hi,
I am a Gnus-user of several years, but I just started getting my hands
dirty with Gnus internals while trying to access a gmail mailbox.
One problem I have encountered is occasional emacs hangs while
retrieving mail over POP/TLS. I believe this may be related to the
confusion over the third argument of accept-process-output - no-one is
quite sure whether it is milliseconds or microseconds (see
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/51972/>).
pop3-accept-process-output thinks it is milliseconds; I'm using emacs
21.4.1 which thinks it is microseconds. I changed the scaling factor
in pop3-accept-process-output from 1000 to 1000000, and the hangs seem
to have gone away.
Would a patch that introduces a compatibility wrapper around
accept-process-output (similar to slime-accept-process-output in
SLIME), and converts existing uses over throughout Gnus, be accepted?
David
