Hmmm... it does seem to be doing something strange. It grabs all the
CPU time on my system as well (though at a low priority) in some
sort of system call. What's really strange is that version 3.8i which
I had installed patches for terminfo support consumes no time
when idle. Perhaps the question is, when will Daniel Lawrence
support System V Unix with terminfo instead/in addition to the
older termcap.

Actually, its looping at line 431 in termio.c polling stdin.
I'm not a unix wizard so I don't understand why he special cased
USG from the V7/BSD version at this point.

the problem with the looping}
