On my VGA-equipped 386 computer this happens not only with the exit
window but with all other windows as well. There's one difference to the
bug reported above: the characters seem right, but they are painted in
the wrong color. But to make it a little bit more complicated some
vertical bar characters are ok.

I have to admit I slightly changed my copy of nnansi. I changed the
color definitions so the default color everything gets written to the
screen is green on black. And that's the color the vertical bars have.
But I did the same to the old nansi.sys and everything worked fine with
it.
