In GNU Emacs 18.55.15, built under SunOS 4.0.3 (or maybe 4.0) but
running on a Sun-4/280 running SunOS 4.1....

If I use "m-x shell" in an Emacs process that doesn't have a controlling
terminal (for instance, an X windows Emacs started from "rsh") the shell
process doesn't get a controlling terminal, and stops immediately with
"Process shell stopped (tty input)".  I suspect this is due to SunOS
4.1's switch from BSD-style to POSIX-style controlling terminal
association.  However, the release manual (p.53-54) claims that most of
the canonical ways of getting a controlling terminal are still
supported.

Will recompiling Emacs in 4.1 fix it automatically, or are code changes
necessary?  Is this a bug in Sun's supposed back-compatibility?
