My specific need is to make a copy of the structure returned by
tcgetattr to be used to reset the terminal state (i.e. one seperate
from the "working" copy used to change the terminal state).  I realize
that I can just call tcgetattr twice (and indeed that's probably
preferable in a functional language) but my C background wants me just
to make a copy :).  (I've actually thought of other reasons not to do
this, but the problem still bugs me!)
