hi,

i've had this problem intermitantly with various
netbsd's.  i've been unable to build a tcsh (i've
tried 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, and then 6.03 in `othersrc')
that doesn't have problems with losing carriage
returns now and then.  eg:

whaite ~/tcsh-6.03> echo $tcsh
6.03.00
       whaite ~/tcsh-6.03>


there is one thing that does worry me.  the output
of stty -g seems to be very strange when running
tcsh.

sh $ stty -g
gfmt1:cflag=5a00:iflag=2b22:lflag=dcb:oflag=7:discard=f:
dsusp=1a:eof=4:eol=ff:eol2=ff:erase=8:intr=3:kill=15:
lnext=16:min=1:quit=1c:reprint=12:start=11:status=ff:
stop=13:susp=1a:time=0:werase=17:ispeed=9600:ospeed=9600

whaite ~/tcsh-6.03> stty -g
gfmt1:cflag=5a00:iflag=2b22:lflag=20000dcb:oflag=7:discard=f:
dsusp=1a:eof=4:eol=ff:eol2=ff:erase=8:intr=3:kill=15:
lnext=16:min=1:quit=1c:reprint=12:start=11:status=ff:
stop=13:susp=1a:time=0:werase=17:ispeed=9600:ospeed=9600

(i've inserted newlines myself - it's supposed to be all
one line)

that 'lflag=20000dcb' seems to be corrupted somehow, and
only happens with i run `stty -g' from tcsh.  the above
line is from sh.

neither sh or csh have this problem, incidentally.

if anybody knows what is wrong, or how to fix it, please
let me know.
