bug#455: emacs question

[Stuart Cracraft <smcracraft@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Bizarre.

Using "putty" to ssh into an AIX box
with a fully installed emacs.

When it makes the connection and offers
login/password and a shell as a result,
emacs -nw then gives

    "standard input is not a tty"

for a standard vt100 emulator in putty.

Anyone seen this? Google-searching implies
that a pseudo-terminal needs to be allocated
but there is no way to force this and
it is the default anyway in putty as there
is an unchecked "Don't allocate a pseudo-terminal"
radio-button, which I've tried checked and unchecked.

Thanks ahead for any insights on the above anyone.

Stuart
