Oh, gack.  It looks like the problem is with the Tektronix termcap
entry for xterm, which seems to have been copied onto our Vax.  Maybe.

On the DECstation (no problems), TERMCAP is set to

On the Vax and the Utek box, it is

And the problem doesn't occur on the Decstation.  If I use the
Decstation's termcap entry on the Vax, I get the same problem.  Hmmm.

Oh, sorry, this is bash 1.04, the Vax is an 11/785 running 4.3, the
Tek box is pretending to be a sun3 running Bsd, the decstation is
running Ultrix.

(Whaddya want the *version* for?? :-) )
