Bug in:  tty driver
Systems: III and maybe V

How come the echoe (erase character on delete bs-space-bs) feature,
allows erasing past the start of the buffer?  You can delete past any
input you have typed.  This should be a simple fix to  the driver, has
anyone done it.

On a similar note, I hope all the  software with System V now  uses the
termio/ioctl  interface to set/restore  terminal modes.  System III is
annoying since many programs (ex: adb) use the old stty/gtty simulation.
