freebsd stable - May 2013 - bin/152154: script(1) -k malfunctions with certain shells (e.g. tcsh, bash, zsh)

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/152154

It has been suggested to me (by a committer) that I should raise the
issue of this PR here on these lists, because the problem described
within the PR remains a real problem, and despite my having proposed
something that seems to be a perfectly workable fix, no action has
been taken on this PR for some years now.

P.S.  The following additional PRs, also filed by me and also relating to
the script(1) command, supply some additional improvements to efficiency
and code clarity.

Having looked at the PR, may I suggest that you look at sysutils/screen
and screen -L especially instead of script -k -- and add some
input logging to screen ? Or, for the tmux fraction, at sysutils/tmux ?

I'm not sure why you absolutly *need* the input logging -- can you
describe the use case ? Is it some security-audit-issue ?

By the way, it will go a long way to helping get some site on these
PRs, if you provide diffs in 'unified diff' form (diff -u) instead of
context diff form.

I have been recently looking for old PRs with patches attached. :)
