stty: : Not a typewriter

[Dave Snyder]

That's the error message I get while doing various things on my machine.

For example: when in vi, I like to read in the current date & time by typing
"!!date".  What that does is fork a shell, run date and the output of date is
read into the buffer (see example below).

Now for some strange reason, this is what I get when I type "!!date".

Anyone have any ideas?
