Re: comint.el: EMACS environment variable

[Richard Stallman]

We changed the value of the EMACS envvar so as to fix a bug.  That bug
was real and needed to be fixed, but the fix causes another problem.

Making that fix an option is not a solution, since it just means
people choose between one bug or another bug.

If people want to reopen this issue, the way to do it is to restudy
the original bug together with the new problems, and find the solution
that is best overall.
