Subject:	Emacs bug: Doesn't restore display settings

There is a minor bug in Emacs. Apparently it changes the display attributes
so that text with the `blink' bit set ends up with an intense background
instead. This is all fine, but it doesn't change it back when it finishes.
Here's a rather roundabout example that should hopefully demonstrate the
problem (you will need an ANSI.SYS driver loaded):

prompt $e[32;5m$p$g     # set prompt to blinking green
                        # The simplest way I could 
                        # think of to create blinking text
emacs
C-x C-c

Now notice that the prompt is not blinking anymore but shows as green on a
solid gray background.

I'd guess this shouldn't be too hard to fix...
