The patch enables the canonical mode for the terminal. Why is this
needed? It looks to me like some bug in OS/2 or the other software
used. Freeciv doesn't mess with the terminal normally. Readline
does. Does the bug show up if you disable the readline support?

Nevertheless the code should be wrapped in a
"enable_canonical_terminal_mode" function.
