	Here's a strange one.  From my MtXinu 4.3BSD/NFS Vax-11/750, I do
"rlogin alanine &", where alanine is a Sun-3/50 running SunOS-3.0.
Eventually the rlogin completes and gets blocked for tty output (I use
tostop mode).  When I do a "fg", I get a burst of noise in addition to the
regular output.

	Well, it's even stranger than that.  The noise is repeatable.  It's
always "ss^@^X^@P^@^@^@^@".  At least that's what I see on my screen
(CIT-101, a vt-100ish clone).  It also happens when I try other 3.0
machines (various Sun-3 models) but not with 3.2 machines.  Never happens
if I don't run the rlogin in the background, and doesn't happen if I
suspend an active rlogin and restart it.  Anybody know what's going on?
