Title:
  termio ioctl returns incorrect value for suspend character

Status in gcc-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When calling ioctl to request some special key bindings, it seems to
  return a random value for the Suspend binding (see attached C file).

  On my system, if I do a stty -a I get this:

  $ stty -a
  speed 38400 baud; rows 24; columns 80; line = 0;
  intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = M-^?; eol2 = M-^?;
  swtch = M-^?; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;
  lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;
  -parenb -parodd cs8 hupcl -cstopb cread -clocal -crtscts
  -ignbrk brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl ixon -ixoff
  -iuclc ixany imaxbel iutf8
  opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0
  isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt
  echoctl echoke

  If I run the enclosed C program, which does an ioctl for TCGETA:

         if (ioctl(0, TCGETA, (char*) &sgbuf) == 0) {

  and then retrieves the key bindings for interrupt, erase, and suspend
  (^C,  ^?, and ^Z in the above output). It returns Interrupt and Erase
  correctly, but it returns the wrong value for Suspend; each time I run
  the program it returns a different value, though it consistently
  returns the same (wrong) value within the program:

                                   if ((int) sgbuf.c_cc[VSUSP] != 0377) {
  			printf("Suspend=%i\n", (int)sgbuf.c_cc[VSUSP]);
  		}

  The program calls the ioctl three times to see if it always returns
  the same value within the program. It does.

  An example output:
  Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=31
  Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=31
  Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=31

  but the next time I run it:

  Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=171
  Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=171
  Erase= 127, Interrupt=3, Suspend=171
