This binary:
ULTBASE031.inv:0000 68608 15096 0 0 104755 5/2/89
031 f ./usr/bin/login none ULTBASE031
presumably made from this Ultrix 3.1 source:
static char *sccsid = "@(#)login.c 9.5 (ULTRIX) 5/1/89";
This change:
* 029 - Gary A. Gaudet. Fri Apr 21 21:57:43 EDT 1989
* Added unbuffered stdin, cyphered name and password,
* and bzero buffer, for -P.
is wrong. It unbuffers stdin between two fgets() calls, causing
pending stuff to be lost and Xprompter to fail. Putting a call to
setbuf() to do the unbuffering before the first fgets() fixes things.
