Summary:                    asterisk console screws up terminal subtly when
exited with ctrl-c with some shells
Description: 
Symptom:

# asterisk -r
[...]
wall*CLI>
*** CTRL-C pressed here ***
#
*** CTRL-D pressed here***
zsh: do you wish to see all 1670 possibilities (835 lines)? n


This seems to be triggered by the combination of zsh
and asterisk. It is cleared by issuing 'stty sane'.

I tried comparing the output of 'stty -a' at the following:

1. Clear start ("sane")
2. Starting Asterisk from zsh and pressing ctrl-C ("zshbad")
3. Starting Asterisk from bash and pressing ctrl-C ("bashbad").

No noticable differences between "sane" and "bashbad". The differences
between "sane" and "zshbad" are:

	sane	zshbad
	----    ------
eof     ^D      <undef>	
rprnt   ^R      <undef>
werase  ^W      <undef>	
lnext   ^V      <undef>
      -inlcr    inlcr
      iexten	-iexten
      echok     -echok

Tested with recent trunk (r142359) and the following shells on a Debian
Lenny system:

bash                  3.2-4
busybox-static        1:1.10.2-1
dash                  0.5.4-11
posh                  0.6.13
zsh                   4.3.6-6

posh and bash work well. zsh, dash and busybox ash mis-behave: leave
'eof' undefined. With dash and busybox ash, after pressing ctrl-C you
can no longer write to the terminal (until a 'clear' or 'stty sane')


Workaround: run 'stty sane' on the affected shells after such a ctrl-C.

When a Ctrl-C or Ctrl-D ends a remote console, on certain shells, the
terminal
is messed up.  By intercepting those events with a signal handler in the
remote
console, we can avoid those issues.
