	script(1) hangs, when SIGINT or SIGQUIT is sent
	immediately, after it is invoked at command prompt.

	Steps to reproduce the problem are as follows:
	1. invoke script
	   $ script <file_name>
	2. send SIGINT (^C) immediately.

	The time gap between step 1 and step 2 is very small.
	So, this is very difficult to reproduce.

	Resolution:
	The signal handling for interrupt is corrected. The signals
	are queued up before script(1) execs a shell.

	PHCO_26025:
	( SR:8606197905 CR:JAGad67096 )
	When a large chunk of data is pasted in a script session,
	script is giving an error "pty write error".
	This was because, script(1) was trying to write data to
	file descriptors, which are not ready for write. Also there
	is some data loss, because there is no input flow control.

	Steps to reproduce the problem are as follows:
	1. On a fresh terminal, start script.
	2. cat > cat.out 2>cat.err
	3. Paste a buffer of atleast 110x50 characters
	   repeatedly.
	4. script gives out an error
	   "script: pty write failed: Invalid argument"
	5. Exit from script by ^D^D and check whether the data
	   present in cat.out is same as the one pasted.

	Resolution:
	Now, script(1) is made to use select(2) to check whether
	the file descriptors are ready for write or not, and then
	write the data. Also, an environmental variable
	SCRIPT_USE_IXOFF has been added, by setting this
	environmental variable before running the script,
	the input flow control can be enabled.

Enhancement:
	No
