When script(1) receives an end-of-file on the outside, it should somehow
send an end-of-file to the process running on the inside. This isn't
possible with pseudo-terminals. There isn't a function like shutdown(2)
that can be called on a pseudo-terminal master to stop the flow of data
in one direction. Normally you would just call close(2), but this means
you can't receive any output from processes on the inside.
