`pop-to-buffer' (?) gets confused by multiple consoles

[Stephen J. Turnbull]

I assume you're on a window system and have gnuserv configured.  Now,
try this:

$ xemacs -vanilla &

Then "ESC ! echo 'TASTES GREAT!' RET" in the XEmacs window.  Back to
your terminal, and

$ xemacs -nw

and "ESC ! echo 'LESS FILLING!' RET" in the terminal window.

I expect you'll see the new string in the GUI window (only), not in the
terminal.  This is pretty disconcerting when you're working remotely.

`pop-to-buffer' is a guess.  Whatever shell-command is using to
pop up its results should restrict its search for an existing window
displaying the *Shell Command Output* buffer to the console where the
command was typed, IMO.

Is there a reason why this isn't so?
