Description: '
There is a RESETSAVE in AR.FORM.LOAD that results in the unintended call (CLOSEF NIL) when unwound.  Quick look at the code suggests the RESETSAVE should not be done when ARSTREAM=NIL.  No real harm done, but (CLOSEF NIL) in a process that has no ttydisplaystream has the unfortunate side effect of creating a tty window (which you never see because it never needs to open); hence is slow instead of being a noop.
