Description:
When emacs is group kmem and setgid bit is set, then "M-x shell" fails
with error message (quotes delimit begin and end of error message):

"csh: Permission denied

Process shell exited abnormally with code 1"

When setgid bit is *not* set, "M-x shell" starts shell with no evident
problem.

(Why do I want setgid bit and group kmem? So that if I "M-x
display-time" I will get load averages.)
