Please note that the list of affected applications may include things
other than shells; eg

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2006-11/msg00035.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2006-11/msg00084.html

"SWI-Prolog assumes this is the case if the environment variable EMACS
is t"

Since it is impossible to construct the definitive list of affected
applications, that is why I am personally pessimistic about being able
to change this without use of Emacs SOP: change it and see what breaks.
