to do what they are supposed to: under some circumstances output data would
be truncated, or the buffer would not actually be flushed (possibly leading
to overflows when the caller assumes the operation succeeded). Change the
semantics so that these functions ensure they complete the operation before
returning.
Comment out diagnostic code enabled by '-D reports' which causes an
infinite recursion and an eventual crash.
Patch developed with assistance from ru and assar.
This change changes the default handling of linemode so that older and/or
stupider telnet clients can still get wakeup characters like <ESC> and
<CTRL>D to work correctly multiple times on the same line, as in csh
"set filec" operations. It also causes CR and LF characters to be read by
apps in certain terminal modes consistently, as opposed to returning
CR sometimes and LF sometimes, which broke existing apps. The change
was shown to fix the problem demonstrated in the FreeBSD telnet client,
along with the telnet client in Solaris, SCO, Windows '95 & NT, DEC OSF,
NCSA, and others.
A similar change was incorporated in the non-crypto version of telnetd.
This resolves bin/771 and bin/1037.
