 I first experienced it with an xterm running on a local X server;
 since it was so long ago I assume my terminal type was set to 'xterm'.
  Last week I reproduced it by ssh'ing in from a MacOS X 'Terminal'
 with my term type set to 'xterm-color'.  I never had a terminal type
 on which I couldn't reproduce it, so didn't think to include that
 information in the bug; sorry for the oversight.
