Hi *, I’ve prepared a patch (MR!6) that fixes this issue by switching to isatty(2) (unless $TERM is dumb, vt100 or vt220) and tested this.
I’d *really* prefer to upload this as 0.89 to sid, so that ncurses then can place Breaks in the libraries, hoping that that will be enough to magically fix the upgrade issue everywhere. (I’ve also pinged jrtc in IRC but keep the bugreport informed.) This is rather urgent as it is a complete blocker for using cowbuilder. bye, //mirabilos -- „Cool, /usr/share/doc/mksh/examples/uhr.gz ist ja ein Grund, mksh auf jedem System zu installieren.“ -- XTaran auf der OpenRheinRuhr, ganz begeistert (EN: “[…]uhr.gz is a reason to install mksh on every system.”)
