No, I think Benny is right about Windows.  process-connection-type is
t for shell-mode on both Windows and Unix; apparently, on Unix, Emacs
communicates with bash through a pty, but on Windows it uses a pipe,
since there are no ptys.

What a bummer.  It's tough getting a decent command-line on Windows.
