Hey, make it restore when the job abends and you've got a friend
for life.  Certainly if it dies of a signal, and I'd be happy with
it resetting on any non-zero exit.

Of course there is probably some broken program somewhere that
wouldn't be happy with it, but wtf.


I've actually built a trivial shell that wrapped a stty restore
around a system(gets()) to use when testing ioctl-intensive code.

Particularly when working on the console of a terminal-less system :-(
