I have encountered what I believe to be a termcap problem in gdb3.3. The
problem occurs when logging into my SUN4/110 from home using either a glass 
tty configured as a VT220 [or VT100] or a Mac SE configured as a VT100[kermit
or MacTerminal]. After starting gdb, the keyboard map is trashed to the point
that one cannot even type in 'quit'. It is then necessary to hang up in order
to get gdb to let go. This problem does not occur when running gdb directly
on the SUN4; nor does it occur when telneting to the SUN4 from a uVAXII via
CMU's TCP/IP [which, BTW works really well]. Note that the home login problem
did not exist in previous versions of gdb. In particular, gdb 3.1.2 and gdb3.2
both work fine from home.
