	Emacs doesn't properly initialize a TTY when resuming it

Thanks.  I've installed it in the trunk (i.e. for Emacs-24).
I'm not familiar enough with this code to know for sure how safe it is
and it seemed like a fairly minor issue, so I prefer to leave it
unfixed in Emacs-23.4 (if we ever release such a thing).
