Pretty non-critical, but I thought I'd point it out.

Apparently, I'm so used to hitting CTRL-D to exit programs, that I
do it without even thinking.

If I hit CTRL-D at the prompt of dbcheck, it absolutely freaks out.
It starts scrolling by as if I were holding down the enter key, and
is obviously unusable.  This is not a big deal because a CTRL-C exits
dbcheck and gives me the console back.

I've done this several times now ... it seems as if I'm not capable of
learning ;)

IMHO, the POLA thing to do would be to have dbcheck exit if the user
hits CTRL-D.  At the least, it shouldn't freak out.  (This would be
a cute place for an Easter egg ... it could say "CTRL-D is an illegal
command" ;)

This is on FreeBSD 6.1 (as all 4 of my Bacula systems run FreeBSD 6.1)
but I'm not sure if it's consistent across shells, and/or remote vs.
local terminals.  Bacula 1.38.10 installed from FreeBSD ports.
