Alan,

As promised, here is a patch to apply after the latest combined echo
buffer patch I recently sent.  It fixes a few things, but most
importantly the handling of buffer full tests and cases in which filled
buffers in a stopped tty can create a "gridlock" condition in two cases
(read patch text for more details).  Note that the condition can easily
be seen by pasting lots of text into, e.g., "tr 'f' 'F'" after ^S is hit.

One question I have is this: should we also let characters through (so
that ^C, ^Q, etc. can have effect) in non-canonical mode?  This would
allow prevention of the gridlocks that still can be invoked when using
stty -icanon in, say, an xterm.  For now, I took the conservative route
in this patch, but let me know if a more permissive approach is better.

						Thanks, Joe
