I am still unsure (sorry) about one thing.  We reset the speed, but what
about the flags c_cflag.  If we just pass them down, and they are not
honored, what do we do?  For example, the character size mask.  In
particular, for those bits in the flag in general, should or should we not
reset them to what we get back from the underlying file?

Thanks,
