FTFB (Fix The Fine Bug :-)

Try recompiling kermit with the NOCOTFMC flag defined.  If this doesn't
work, try fixing ckutio.c near where it checks the NOCOTFMC flag.  It
forgets to set the CLOCAL flag for the BSD44 case.  BSD44 really means
POSIX here.  Other POSIXish systems apparently work by using backwards
compatibility cruft that BSD doesn't have.  The setting of NOCOTFMC
would have no effect if CLOCAL was set.
