Re: "lein repl" malfunctions in Emacs (24.3.1) subprocess?

Well, I of course figured this out (sort of) shortly after posting. I should have been using cider-jack-in rather than "lein repl" to get a Clojure REPL going in a buffer. So, my immediate problem is solved; however I'm still curious as to why the lein repl won't work in Emacs?
