Bug Description

=============================================================
Impact: vdeterm failure corrupts terminal
Development fix: restore terminal on failure
Stable fix: same as development fix
Test case: run 'vdeterm', then try 'ls'. Terminal should act as normal when vde has been patched.
Regression potential: this fix has been applied since quantal to the same version, so there should be no risk of regression
=============================================================

When vdeterm fails at start (such as happens when specifying the wrong vde socket), then it does not restore the terminal.

The terminal is thus left in noecho mode.

# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Release: 10.04

# apt-cache policy vde2
vde2:
  Installed: 2.2.3-3
  Candidate: 2.2.3-3
  Version table:
 *** 2.2.3-3 0
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

What do I expect:
on error, vdeterm should restore the terminal into the state where it found it in

What happens instead:
the terminal is left with noecho (... and possibly other settings wrong as well...)
