Description

When processing a signal, ldterm can end up sending an empty echo mblk down the stream.
If the owning application was NOT compiled with xpg4/6-values.o, then the empty mblk will be dropped in the 

ptem
module (ref http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/uts/common/io/ptem.c#565 )
However, otherwise it will be passed to the application and often treated as equivalent to an EOF.

One example of this is with the 

tmux
utility. It works fine on illumos in non-xpg4 mode but not with xpg4 - in the latter, pressing ^C will cause tmux to exit.

There is no need for these empty mblks to be sent.
