FYI, the version of hack in the base system has another problem - that
is, it relies on the obsolete terminal capability 'bs' and thus won't
work with the recent xterm termcap changes.  I imagine the version in
ports has the same problem.

Quick patch from Erik Trulsson to fix this is included below, see
recent thread on stable@ for the full discussion.
