See, I assumed this as well after reading the prior messages of this
thread. But I just tried it out now, and it actually does not do any
diversion. I'm actually not entirely sure why, I guess changes to the
`noninteractive' variable from lisp don't reach the C level?

So the redirection of stdin only helps in the --batch case.
