In hanse-ml.netbsd.bugs you write:

Irrelevant.
It is *wrong* for any program to change the *hardware* characteristics
of the tty I'm logged in to (except in special cases and only at *my*
request).
Emacs suffers from this too, albeit in the opposite direction.
I think anything that uses curses also does this. I have a terminal hanging
off the end of one of my serial ports, for logging in (via the getty), it
uses 7, O, 1... then when using more / vi / tip / various other programs, it
switches to 7, N, 1. (the exactness of O/N/E I'm not sure about... but you
get the idea!)
