SVN rev 193185 on 2009-05-31 19:37:06Z by jilles
sh: Make read's timeout (-t) apply to the entire line, not only the first
character.
This avoids using non-standard behaviour of the old (upto FreeBSD 7) TTY
layer: it reprocesses the input queue when switching to canonical mode. The
new TTY layer does not provide this functionality and so read -t worked
very poorly (first character is not echoed, cannot be backspaced but is
still read).
This also agrees with what most other shells with read -t do.
