The code in tminit.c that converts ctrl+space to ascii 0 for 
termios doesn't seem to be completely reliable.

__direct_ctrlsense() returns the state of the ctrl key at the time of the 
interrupt call. However, since the keyboard is buffered, it's possible the 
key returned from __direct_keyinput() was typed long enough ago so 
that the ctrl-key is longer pressed once __direct_ctrlsense() is called 
and so the space will be left as-is or worse if a regular space is typed 
before the ctrl+space then the regular space will be converted to ascii 
0. 

Perhaps this feature should be removed?
