[Bug 367010] [NEW] svk input handling broken

[VinceLe]

Public bug reported:

When using some command-line application (meld latest git revision)
after the command has finished and the control is returned to the shell,
pressing the return key does not make the shell go to the next line, but
instead a new prompt is printed from where it was:

$ csh
% ./meld .
% % % % 

$ sash 
Stand-alone shell (version 3.7)
> ./meld .
> > > > 

$ bash
$ ./meld .
$ $ $ $ 

$ dash
$ ./meld .
$ $ $ $ 

$ ksh
$ ./meld .                                                                                                                                                             
$ 
$ 
$ 
$ 

I tried with various shells:

NOK: bash, dash, sash, csh
OK: zsh, tcsh, pdksh

Looks like local echo is disabled
`stty sane` restores a working state to the shells that don't do it themselves
