Problem concerning emacs 18.55 Compiled Under Solbourne 4.0D and running
on both Suns and the Solbourne.  It seems to be the case that M-X shell seems
to run on the Solbourne when started from either a remote shell or a process on
the machine.  The emacs is compiled  HAVE -X Windows so a separate X window
is generate for the emacs.  However if one attempts to run the same emacs
from any number of 4.1 Sun Sparcstations M-X shell dies, but only if the
parent process is not around or more precisely the parent process is not
a shell on the local machine.  A preliminary investigation, seems to show
that the emaces on the Solbourne own pseudo terminals but the ones started
by remote shells do not.  This should be easy to fix but I have not come
up with a smple workaround
