Patch status: None
Patch type: fix
GRASS component: gis.m
GRASS version: 6.2.1

Initial Comment:
Most modern UNIX-like operating systems support the termios terminal interface, including FreeBSD. Next to termios, FreeBSD supports the antique sgtty interface as well.

There are some plans at the FreeBSD camp to remove the sgtty interface in the far future. It currently only works when the user is running a kernel with the option COMPAT_43TTY. This option is still on by default, but may already be disabled sooner.

The following patch will cause GRASS to use the termios interface on systems that support it, allowing people to use GRASS without issues on operating systems that only support termios.
