Re: strange char echo

[Bryan Christ]

Now that I think of it, I've only seen this problem when I try to run my
software on a remote systems via SSH.  I just tried to reproduce it
locally and couldn't.  The problem manifests 9 out of 10 times on remote
connections.  When I tried it 10 times locally, 100% pass.

Thoughts?
