Ahh, so this default merely changed between 1.3.x and 1.4_ALPHA?  I
am accustomed to the 1.3.x behavior I guess.
stty -a shows:
lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl

Yet my 1.3.x shell doesn't echo control characters until I run /bin/sh
again.

If the echo of control characters is normal, then under 1.3.x it is just
a bug that I am used to! :-)

Thanks.
