Howdy:

	Does anyone have a working copy of the XView program cmdtool? I've
repeatedly tried to build the XView packages, but unfortunately cmdtool
builds, but does not run properly under 2.1-stable. Whenever I hit return
at the prompt, it goes nutso crazy, as if I were repeatedly hitting
return over and over until I hit ^C. Likewise if I invoke a command -- it
operates over and over again -- not good :-( .

	I have a feeling that this is a problem within the XView tty code
interacting with FreeBSD's pty implementation. I've even gone so far back
as to try out the cmdtool found on the FreeBSD 1.1 CD's xview-bin 
proto-package. Same effect. Any hints would be appreciated!
