I just verified that GNU readline6 uses ioctl(TCSETSW, ...) to do the set_termios
(which is the ioctl that libc should use for tcsetattr(TCSADRAIN)).
Maybe this userspace is using a readline()-alike that has a bug by not using the
correct tcsetattr() action?
Or maybe the glibc-equivalent has the bug, and tcsetattr(TCSADRAIN) is not using
ioctl(TCSETSW)?
