What's wrong with this miniterm?


It works fine... until I close it, then it appears to not set the console back to the way it was before. Pressing [enter] doesn't create a newline. Typed letters don't appear (though if I type a command right it still works). Logging out and logging in again removes problem.

you could start by checking the return values of functions for errors.

No errors, it just causes the terminal to act weird when it's finished.
