These are typically messages due to your running `stty' from your
shell startup scripts even if the shell is not run interactively.

The elisp code for the M-! function has the following to say about it:

	    ;; We do not use -f for csh; we will not support broken use of
	    ;; .cshrcs.  Even the BSD csh manual says to use
	    ;; "if ($?prompt) exit" before things which are not useful
	    ;; non-interactively.  Besides, if someone wants their other
	    ;; aliases for shell commands then they can still have them.
