emacs: Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor).

Hi,

On this version of NetBSD:
NetBSD foobar 1.6_BETA2 NetBSD 1.6_BETA2 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Jun 13 22:44:18 UTC 2002     autobuild@tgm.daemon.org:/autobuild/i386/OBJ/autobuild/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

I'm running this version of Emacs (with -q):

GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.6., X toolkit) of 2002-08-30 on foobar

Doing M-x shell gives this:

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

>From this shell, if I do:
ssh root@foobar

I get:
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.

and there is no prompt from the ssh process (although ssh does
work ok).

Any idea how to fix the Bad file descriptor problem?

Thanks.

Looks like your process-connection-type is set to nil for some reason,
or that Emacs somehow fails to get a tty and reverts to using
a pipe instead.  As for how...
