I get garbled output (text is eliminated by some "censor").
I'm usually using MacOSX and the problem occurs
-- with the native terminal app of Apple
-- with xterm
-- with rxvt
I now checked it, too, under Sun/Solaris: same thing both with xterm and rxvt.
so it's not a MacOSX problem, it seems.
I attach a small .png file hoping that it comes through (otherwise
please let me know and I'll send it off-list) for demonstration of the
effect.
