Hi,
There was a 'stty sane' line in my .cshrc which is causing the Invalid
argument message. I removed it and that erorr message has gone away. Thanks,
Pete.
I also noticed that setting TERM env to any value is causing shell to exit.
I removed the line which sets TERM env from my cshrc and I was able to
access shell !!! But the warning message is still there.

Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor).
Thus no job control in this shell.

And setting TERM env in it is causing the shell to exit immediately. I guess
this is because of tty not being allocated. From the shell in emacs when I
type tty, I see...
$ tty
not a tty

So there is no solution to the original problem yet, as removing the line
which sets TERM env cannot be a permanent solution.

Sunil
