After performing C-x @ and type bash RET, Emacs freezes and the process must be killed externally.

This is a bug.

Note that starting a new shell was not what this command is designed for. The idea is to send a command to the shell and collect the output to a temporary file. For example 'ls -l' will run the command ls -l in the shell and the output will appear in a window. The issue could be fixed by checking if the command arguments are executing a shell. It looks like MicroEmacs checks if a shell is being run and falls back to simply dropping out to a shell until you type 'exit'. If you try this on Zile it will just return an empty window.

Any process which reads from stdin will produce this problem. It should be able solve it by closing stdin of the forked process. A nicer way would be to have an optional argument whose value will be sent to stdin instead. So the user can pipe a buffer, a region or a string to the process.
