We are running the korn shell at Columbia, and it wouldn't run properly 
as a subfork of emacs, possibly something to do with it running through 
a pty.  That was the initial reason for my change.  Why should gnuemacs 
do things differently for interactive and noninteractive shells?  It 
seemed that the ESHELL variable, for consistancy, should be used for 
all shells.
