_______________________________________________________
Details:
The attached patch adds a -o flag, which reopens stdin as /dev/tty in the
child process prior to execvp(3). BSD xargs has the exact same flag for this
reason. This is very useful if the command to launch is an interactive one.
This patch is against 4.2.31 (the latest version available on my Debian Sid
box) but also applies to CVS HEAD.
