Hi David, 

Thanks for working on ispell - according to the qa list you are doing a great
job.

I don't agree that glibc has a bug - it only has the problem to try supporting
both termios and termio. Anyway - if the upstream author wants to preserve
compatibility this is the way to go. After all we are only packagers and not
the "owners" of the software.
