Oh, a whole new category of hate. Good ideas that vanished.
Me first:
Berkeley smart buffering.
Instead of line-buffering and having code like this:
fprintf("%s: ", current); fflush(stdout);
fgets(buf, sizeof buf - 1, stdin);
It only did an fflush on interactive files when reading
from an interactive file. Incomplete prompt syndrome never
happened.
