   However, on `initctl reload` (and no change to .conf files) the arg
   list was lost while parsing the .conf files.  Leading to a false
   positive 'diff' in args causing nginx to be unnecessarily restarted.
+* Fix issue with disabled "linewrap" on the console TTY after login.
+  The root cause is `qemu-system-x86_64 -nographics` disabling it when
+  starting up.  The correct `\e[?7h` escape code is now used.
