If you kill -9 a program, there's no way for it to reset the terminal to the previous state either. I think it's a little exaggerated for a small utility like "more" to catch all catchable signals (including SEGV, BUS etc.) just to reset the tty to its previous state. INTR is in no way different from SEGV or BUS; the user usually wants the thing to quit fast. If you kill full- screen programs, you have to reset the tty yourself. - mkb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
