ksh-20120801-7.el6 adding \0\n where the old one just writes \n for carriage return in vi edit mode
Issue
In vi mode when accessing via HP ilo4 virtual serial port, carriage return and linefeed on input do not work properly. The cursor stays on the same line, and sometimes the first few characters of the prompt are missing. Things seem okay in emacs mode and when coming in via ssh or directly via a physical serial port.
Captured strace shows that the new ksh is writing \0\n where the old one just writes \n.
