>Description:
Libedit seems to disable the "stty status" and "stty eol" characters,
and doesn't re-enable them after it's done. This annoys me, since ftp
keeps clearing my status character.

Apparently, this is due to the following in /usr/include/sys/ttydefaults.h:
#define	CEOL		((unsigned char)'\377')	/* XXX avoid _POSIX_VDISABLE */
#define	CSTATUS		((unsigned char)'\377')	/* XXX avoid _POSIX_VDISABLE */

>How-To-Repeat:
$ stty status ^t eol ^a
$ stty
speed 9600 baud;
lflags: echoe echoke echoctl
cflags: cs8 -parenb
eol     erase   status  
^A      ^H      ^T      
$ ftp
ftp> quit
$ stty
speed 9600 baud;
lflags: echoe echoke echoctl
cflags: cs8 -parenb
erase   
^H      
$ stty status ^t eol ^a
$ set -o emacs
$ stty
speed 9600 baud;
lflags: echoe echoke echoctl pendin
cflags: cs8 -parenb
erase   
^H

I dunno...
