These days, whenever I use a shell buffer in Emacs on any of the AI
Lab Suns, I get each of my input lines echoed with a ^M following, and
all output also has a ^M following.  The result looks like this (I'm
using caret-M for control-M here, lest Unix mailers somehow screw me):

    pgs@august>echo foo
    echo foo^M
    foo^M
    pgs@august>ls *.tex
    ls *.tex^M
    door.tex	psadobe.tex^M
    pgs@august>ls bin
    ls bin^M
    fig		fig2ps		xrlog^M
    fig2latex	transfig	xrlog~^M
    pgs@august>

where it should look like this:

    pgs@august>echo foo
    foo
    pgs@august>ls *.tex
    door.tex	psadobe.tex
    pgs@august>ls bin
    fig		fig2ps		xrlog
    fig2latex	transfig	xrlog~
    pgs@august>

This is really irritating when one is trying to use LISP in a shell
buffer, as paren-hacking on multi-line input doesn't work.

This is not due to my emacs init file, as it happens even when I don't
have one.  I believe that this appeared sometime around the time of
the switchover to SunOS4.0, although I'm not absolutely sure.
