I have a log viewer script that consists of a nawk script with
its output piped into $PAGER. In my case, I use `pg' as my pager.
When viewing the log, I generally press my interrupt key to
terminate the script. This works correctly, except that occasionally
my shell prompt disappears. I have to type `stty echo icanon eof ^d'
to restore my terminal settings.

This sounds like a race condition. Is the bug in the pager, nawk,
or the shell?
