Description blob 2009-03-08 16:05:58 EDT 
I found this when trying to use an external script/daemon
to control my dedicated server, after upgrading from 1.34 to
svn HEAD.

It seems that stdin_active is undefined, I provided the
following patch.

fixed. Additionally the server will not use tty console if TERM is set to "raw" or "dumb".
