Hmm.  I replaced emacs-lucid with emacs-gtk on my bullseye system, and
I'm still seeing it.

Maybe there's some difference in our environment variables?

I tried unsetting IGNOREEOF; that didn't make a difference.  And
changing SHELL to /usr/bin/ksh didn't make a difference.  Maybe there's
something about EDITOR, TERM, or TERMCAP?
