For some reason, local echo doesn't get disabled in StubProcess::
ConverseStub(). The "stop" command is written to the pty, and
read right back.

I don't really have an idea why that is. The code in PtyProcess::
enableLocalEcho() seems correct to me. What kind of ptys does your system
have (Unix98 or legacy)? Does is happen always?

The socket security feature is enabled when the SO_PEERCRED socket option
is defined. Can you check why you don't have this feature?
