Bad Network SIGIO on Linux-2.4.19

This stand-alone program demonstrates the problem previously
reported.

If you execute this locally, the program will wait for any
input from the terminal (STDIN_FILENO) and then it will
terminate. This is the expected behavior.

If you execute this while logged in using telnet, using linux-2.4.18,
this program will also execute as expected.

However, if you execute using linux-2.4.19, when logged in using
telnet, the program will exit as soon as the child writes the
first '.' to the terminal because a SIGIO signal is being incorrectly
generated for both output and input.
