There are some problems with the miscio.c recently distributed.
1) it does not import the ttyerase/ttykill hacking to
reading numbers. Instead, it hardwires backspace
and @.
2) the code that handles ttyerase/ttykill assumes that
the erase and kill characters are single characters
(e.g. "/10 /10") which is not necessarily true.
On 2.8/4.1 using the new terminal driver, many users
have set their erase/kill to things like ^? (delete)
and ^U (control-U for TOPS-20 fans) and ^X (control-X
for TENEX fans)
