He was saying that if the pcterm was sending raw scancodes it would be absolute
garbage when you typed. There is totally a userland issue. It is exactly the
same as if dosemu or X crashed and left the keyboard in raw console mode.
There are terminfo slots reserved for enable/disable pcterm scancode
keyboard mode, though I have not seen them used yet.
