Thanks to suggestions by  Alan Bishop (agb@cs.washington.edu)
and Pajarre Eero (eero@lehtori.tut.fi), I rebuilt my pty's
in /dev, and now Emacs shells respond to signals (shells were
running via pipes, not tty's)

If anyone else gets this problem, here's the solution:

% cd /dev
% ls pty*
# shows how many pty's you have. I had 8, named pty0 to pty7)
% /etc/crpty 8
# creates eight new pty's
