If:
1) you're running a recent snapshot, instead of 2.6-RELEASE,
2) you're running either on the console, or with a termtype of
"vt220",
then:
You've run into one of the most famous problems to happen recently -
something got munged in the termcap/terminfo entry for "vt220".
If you're running on the console, try
(csh) setenv TERM pcvt25
(sh) TERM=pcvt25 ; export TERM
before running your program.
If you're running on something that emulates a vt220 and you're seeing
this behaviour, try
(csh) setenv TERM vt220-old
(sh) TERM=vt220-old ; export TERM
and see if that clears up the problem.
If you only work on the console, and you get REALLY tired of typing this
in, you can either a) upgrade to a more recent snapshot, which has
supposedly fixed it, or b) etc /etc/ttys and change the console
termtypes from vt220 to pcvt25. Solution "b)" should be considered
short-term only, as the console is truly supposed to be vt220-compatible
and the pcvt25 termtype is deprecated.
