Odd ksh+ssh interaction
Hi,
I was exploring hello-dbs from afar this morning by ssh from home to the
machine at work. I did the standard dpkg-source -x, cd'ed into the
directory and did a debian/rules setup. At that point the session
completely started ignoring the keyboard. I had to kill the ssh
connection locally. I'm a longtime ksh user and so that's what was
running. The behavior is the same on any action (tested it on 1 or 2
more) passed to debian/rules. However, if I push a csh, then everything
works a okay. Also, if I immediately put the command into the background
via '&', then it doesn't lock me out (though still doesn't work as it
should, stopped output for tty). Everything works okay when I invoke
debian/rules without going through ssh.
I'm assuming this is a bug of some sort. I'm also assuming this problem
is something associated with grabbing a tty.
Let me know if this needs to be reported as a bug or if it (or a close
relative) has been reported already.

P.S. I'm currently not on the debian-user list, so please cc to me...thanks.
