           Summary: Terminating ash 'read -s' makes input characters
                    invisible
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at busybox.net
        ReportedBy: Explorer09 at gmail.com
                CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


To reproduce this bug:

1. Run busybox ash shell
2. Type 'read -s'
3. Press Ctrl+C to abort the reading.

Actual result:

>From now, every character I type will be invisible. Even newlines are invisible
too.

For example, when I type multiple enters and then 'ls' then enter, my shell
screen looks something like this:
---------------------------------------------
/ $ / $ / $ / $ / $ / $ / $ / $ bin    dev   initrd.img  lost+found  opt   run 
      srv  usr
boot   etc   lib     media         proc  sbin     sys  var
cdrom  home  lib64     mnt         root  selinux  tmp  vmlinuz
---------------------------------------------

Expected result:

The input characters I type should be visible like before. Like this:
---------------------------------------------
/ $ 
/ $ 
/ $ 
/ $ ls
bin    dev   initrd.img  lost+found  opt   run        srv  usr
boot   etc   lib     media         proc  sbin     sys  var
cdrom  home  lib64     mnt         root  selinux  tmp  vmlinuz
---------------------------------------------
