Gnue Emacs 18.53, hp-ux 3.01 on HP9000/825, with X11+Xmenu.

When Emacs is started from uwm, it has not control tty. If I start a 
shell, the shell pty also becomes the control tty for emacs, not just
the shell. If I then type C-c C-c to the shell window, Emacs dies 
immediately. 

If I start Emacs from a terminal emulator, the emulator pty becomes the
Emacs control tty, and C-c C-c to the shell window behaves as advertised.

I have noticed a very similar behaviour with Oliver Laumann's Screen 
front end on the 800 series, so I tend to believe it's the signal/control
terminal/process group mechanisms with 800 hpux who's to blame.

Has anybody noticed/fixed that?
