This works on Sun 3s but not on Sun 4s.   When I get out of X for any
reason on my Sun 4, it screws up the keyboard so badly that I have to
reboot the machine to get it back.   Does anyone know why this is, and
how to fix it?   I'd really like to know, since my current solution is
to just not run X on the Sun 4.

Does your sun server stick the terminal into non-blocking I/O
mode? There used to be a problem where it wouldn't set it back
and your shell would, of course, get failed reads (no data)
which were interpreted as EOF's. I thought that this had been
fixed awhile back, but you may not have applied that patch. I'd
check.
