 the bug can't be fixed unless there is some restructuring of stty... and
 this probably shouldn't happen...  
 
 the resturcuring would require the options to be set one at a time...  and
 doing an ioctl's for each option instead of just doing two [ioctl's] max
 like it currently is...  IMHO doing multiple ioctl's could cause undesired
 behavior because all the flags weren't set at the same time...
 
 OTOH... it doesn't mean we can't add an option to do "debugging"  but this
 would make stty more complex than it needs to be... 
 
 comments?
