I am running FreeBSD 2.1R and have installed the linux compatibility
libraries. Everything works fine for several pieces of software that
I have tried so far, but I recently purchased a linux version of
a statistics package that I would like to use called Stata. Stata
installs and runs OK so far, but I get a couple messages from (I assume)
the emulator and the keyboard interface is a little hokey. First,
the messages:

You are running Unix Intercooled Stata 4.0.
Stata is correctly installed.
You can type exit to exit Stata.

LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=0, typ=0x54(T), num=0x6 not implemented
-----------------------
Stata tries to allow command line editting and is supposed to respond
to single key strokes without waiting for ENTER, but this isn't working;
perhaps because of the "not implemented" features?
I looked for the source for linux_ioctl.c, but can only find
linux_ioctl.o.
1) Does anyone know an easy way to deal with the problem described
above?
2) Is this likely to be difficult, easy, something in between,
. . ., to deal with if I try to address it myself?
3) Where might I find the source to linux_ioctl.c?
Thanks
(just in case, . . ., please be sure to include me as a CC;
I'm not a regular on questions)
