While we're on the subject of TIOCSTI under SunOS 4.x....

I find that using TIOCSTI to push back the literal-next character is
broken.  On real Berkeley, doing this does what one would expect: the
next character typed is literal-nexted.  On SunOS 3.5, it works the
same way.  But under releases 4.0.3, 4.1, and 4.1.1, at least, doing
this causes the pushed-back literal-next to quote itself somehow,
rather than quoting the next character typed.

Anybody have any idea when Sun will fix this?  And in the meantime,
anybody have any idea what I might be able to do as a workaround?
Losing literal-next is a major pain.
