Bug in comint

[Rodney Sparapani]

Hi.  A comint bug was introduced between 21.0.105 and 21.1 (actually it first 
appears in 21.0.106).  A conditional insert is converted to an unconditional 
insert.  Here's what the documentation says:

If variable `comint-process-echoes' is nil,
a terminal newline is also inserted into the buffer and sent to the process
(if it is non-nil, all text from the process mark to point is deleted,
since it is assumed the remote process will re-echo it)

In other words, the documentation is written for the conditional insert.  
Somebody must have made a mistake when they were packaging.  Please revert 
comint for 21.2 and keep me posted as it breaks ESS 5.1.19.  Thanks.
