[gnu.emacs.bug] setpgrp in call-process. why?

benson@odi.UUCP (Benson Margulies) (04/26/89)

As part of investigating why getlogin () returns 0 in programs called 
from emacs 19.53, I was surprised to note that it does a setpgrp.
This seems odd to me, given the synchronous nature of the beast.
Can anyone explain this to me?
