x This fcntl() problem is analogous to a set of other problems like programs leaving bad stty()'s, accidentally or on purpose, e.g. a program that changes line speed, or the EOF character to 'a'. I once hacked up the shell to always restore the stty modes after a program finishes. It recognized the "stty" command as a special case to allow deliberate changes. This feature was quite useful however it doesn't protect you from background processes and stty commands in shell scripts wouldn't work. Cheers, Dan Ts'o Dept.
