Hello,

I've noticed that programs which need to go into cbreak (I think - the
one that sends chars directly through to the program without a newline
when entered from a terminal) don't work correctly when compiled with
gcc 1.34. This would seem to me to be a function of the library routines
and not the compiler, but both `less' (v97) and `scrabble' (just posted
to c.s.?) exhibit the same behavior - when compiled with cc, they
deal with the keyboard as expected, but with gcc, they do nothing til
return is entered.

gcc -O -v -Wall -finline-functions -fstrength-reduce files.c

on Ultrix 1.2.

Any ideas?
