The ltchars structure used to have 9 fields - there were an extra erase, kill, and intr character. These were taken out since lots of programs that thought they were turning off ctrl H really weren't - turning off the one ctrl H left the second one still erasing. All references to these three fields should be deleted - probably by installing instead the 4.1bsd stty and login.
