Thanks to help from a number of people, I found the problem. The standard
vt100 (also known at vt100-am) termcap has the 'pt' option set, which tells
the system that this vt100 uses hardware tabs. Red Ryder doesn't deal with
this well.

There are two ways to fix it. You can go in to /etc/termcap and munge out
the pt option, which gives you a non-standard termcap entry, or you can
turn off hardware tabs with "stty -tabs" (which is what I did.)
