Under Ultrix 3.1, if you cut more than a few lines from an xterm and try
to paste into a (different) window running rlogin, the Ultrix pty will
over-run, beep madly, and lose data.  This happens whenever a lot of data
is (are) written into the master side of an Ultrix pty/tty pair and the
tty side is in raw or cbreak mode -- data gets lost.  Setting TANDEM
doesn't help.  Anyone know of a fix or work-around?
