- The problem isn't just one switch statement - the macro they use for
- control characters is completely braind-dead. My fix was to use a
- different macro for ctl(), and fix all the places that called catl()
- to put single-quotes around the characters it's trying to pass.

- The program won't compile because of this, which surprises me. The
- code is also extremely messy, with stuff commented out all over the
- place.
