There have been several interesting discussions on this topic, most centered on Linux: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/linux.kernel/PYgS2MyNQfw/orRVLXtinOwJ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2012-07/msg00004.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2012-04/msg00065.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2013-07/msg00013.html including the following comment: "So, after quite a lot of extra hours spent on this, we were able to track MOST of the breakage to this commit: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f23eb2b2b28547fc70df82dd5049eb39bec5ba12"; Margarita Manterola and Maximiliano Curia did most of the work; here is the final summary of their findings (the subsequent thread is interesting as well): https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/25/205 The question is how to deal with large amounts of data in a situation where the tty modes keep getting changed after each newline, while preserving acceptable behavior for the usual case of cooked mode.
