Nmap ignores key presses if run by sudo

[Shinnok <admin () shinnok com>]

Hi list,

It seems that running nmap with sudo from an unprivileged user makes
Nmap ignore(or not catch at all)terminal keyboard input. However, if run
by the current user(root also with sudo su) then key presses work as
expected, for e.g. return for scan status or d for increasing debug
verbosity.

I'm running latest SVN nmap in Debian Squeeze. It seems that the version
in Debian's repo's, 5.00, behaves the same way.

Is this a bug case or me remembering Nmap key presses to be working with
sudo a case of bad memory bits with my chip?

Thanks,
Shinnok
