[Bugs-team] Odd thing about bug #745

[cwjordanoi at cox.net]

I took a quick look at bug #745, to see if it made any sense or if I could duplicate it, and I ran into something strange.  If I run "cat /dev/stdin", anything I type is displayed twice, then printed out by cat, and "^d"'s are ignored.  If I run just "cat" by itself, that doesn't happen.  The weird thing is, after I run "cat /dev/stdin", the behavior of "cat" by itself changes, as shown below, and stays changed until I log out and back in again.  This doesn't happen on Unbuntu or MacOS.  I'm not sure if it actually has anything to do with bug #745, but it's strange.  Am I missing something here?
