Look at the output (the error occurs with bash, ftp and gdb, these are the programs I tested with) rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0 read(0, "E", 1) = 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Here I typed E. read(0, "g", 1) = 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It waits for another key. I typed g here write(2, "\7", 1) = 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And it returns a beep, for every single program. rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 read(0, "t", 1) = 1 write(2, "t", 1t) = 1 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0 read(0, "T", 1) = 1 write(2, "T", 1T) = 1 And here is what happens with "normal" keys.
