System: NetBSD orchard.medford.ma.us 1.0_BETA NetBSD 1.0_BETA (ORCHARD) #6: Sun Aug 7 13:54:11 EDT 1994 sommerfeld@orchard.medford.ma.us:/u1/nsys/sys/arch/i386/compile/ORCHARD i386


>Description:
	Meta-Control-Space should (theoretically) send ESC NUL if
	PCVT_NULLCHARS and PCVT_META_ESC are defined; in reality,
	it just sends ESC.

	Because of the grody encoding hack used by sgets() to
	implement PCVT_NULLCHARS (if the first character is a null, send it),
	there isn't a trivial one-line fix.
>How-To-Repeat:
	in a kernel with PCVT_NULLCHARS and PCVT_META_ESC, type a
	M-C-SPC to emacs.
>Fix:
	none yet; perhaps change sgetc to return a count (through a pointer
	argument) as well as a string, like it should have to
	begin with.
