Hi

As I see, there are some escape sequences that -- when printed to a linux
virtual tty -- cause something to appear in the keyboard buffer. I think
this is a large security hole. For example if root is using 'less -r'
to look at a syslog-generated logfile. Could this option be disabled at
compile time?
