then you have some other problems, too, like, unless i'm mistaken,
VMIN and VTIME aren't done right in the 386bsd tty code...
at least, they're not yet done right (soon, tho) in BSD/386,
according to Kolstad/Karels at the BSDI bof at usenix,
and i've not seen any patches to get them working
for 386bsd...
