Bug in tty cooked mode kernel 3.12.3

[Karl Dahlke <eklhad@comcast.net>]

As per your direction, I applied Peters patch to n_tty.c,
which looked like it was in the ballpark, echoing newline etc,
but it did not fix the problem.
It is still reproducible on my system as below.

Thank you for your quick reply,and the patch to try.
I'm afraid however this is still an unsolved problem.
Realize that it pops up rarely and randomly in just about any cooked program;
I chose the console switch example because it most reliably reproduces the bug.

Thank you.
