If the backspace key results in a 0x08 character and this is not what
you want, then you should either call
stty erase '^h'
before starting
openssl req ...
or reconfigure the keyboard so that the backspace key sends 0x7f (DEL)
instead. This has nothing to do with OpenSSL; you'll observer the
same behaviour if you run, say, 'cat'.
