Sorry, "Dick," but you are correct only if the Emacs in question is running
in half-baked mode.  Mine is not.  Chris Torek also pointed this problem out
to me, but according to him, if you add an error-occured around the
get-tty-character, and hack up Karl Puder's code a little, the problem you
mentioned will no longer exist.
