A program can change terminal settings like this. For example, when ssh reads a password it can turn off echo so the password does not show up. If you interrupt the program (^C) and it doesn't have a handler that restores the original settings then this can happen. I haven't looked for that specifically in the ssh source code though. And it sounds like it's happening to people even without interrupting programs so it's unlikely the cause of all the problems. Todd
