Hi.
Just a tiny patch for shell.
The patch assumes that the person launching M-xshell while in a
shell-mode buffer with a terminated process really wants to launch a
shell process in the current buffer instead to switch to "*shell*".
The semantics of C-uM-xshell are not changed by the patch.

Agreed. Implemented in trunk.
