Xterm su problems on Pyramid

[Matt Hulthen]

Has anyone tried compiling and running the X11 R4 xterm on a Pyramid 9820?

I compiled it straight from the MIT tape and everything seems to be fine
when running it with one exception.

Whenever I try to run "su" or "passwd" it seems to shoot out extraneous
CR's.  For example,

% passwd matth
Old password: < at this point xterm sends(?) CR before user gets a chance to
		type
Sorry.

% su matth
Password: < at this point xterm sends(?) CR before user gets a chance to type
Sorry

It seems that when these programs turn off echo, things get confused
and a CR is sent.

I wrote a small program which tried to simulate this by turning off echo and
requesting input but the problem did not occur.

Also, if "rlogin" or "on" are run then the problem gets fixed.

We have compiled and run the same source on both a Sequent S81 and a
SUN SPARC 4/280 and the problem does not occur.

Any and all help/suggestions/solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
