I noticed this too, although hadn't tracked it down to tetrix that caused
the problem...  I *have* seen this behavior even before the latest version
of tetrix.  I generally notice something's wrong when vi beeps every time I
hit escape.

I'm running 3.51a also.

I've also noticed that the new tetrix leaves part of an escape sequence
on the bottom of my screen ("[24").

(Incidentally, I just ran it as ":!windy -b tetrix" from vi, and the escape
problem hasn't happened in this window (yet)).
