   Emacs seems to be very pty-hungry.  On all our systems pty's are a
   scarce resource, compared to pipes, but only xscheme.el seems to bother
   to set process-connection-type to nil.  Here is a change to server.el,
   but I suspect similar changes need to be made to cmacexp.el, mh-e.el,
   time.el, and maybe compile.el and makeinfo.el.  In fact maybe the
   default should be nil, and interactive utilities like shell.el and
   terminal.el should set it explicitly to `t' ?

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
