This works fine.  There are two files that need to be touched.  One is
"art.c" and the other is "term.c".  Basically, every time you see a
"erase_eol()" line, add a line following it "carriage_return()".
There are about six places this occurs.  Since the line preceding the
"erase_eol()" is always a "carriage_return()" anyway, you're pretty
much assured that this won't create any problems.

As far as I can tell, there is no way to fix this in the terminal driver
unless you add termcap support in the driver (hah!) since that is where
the terminal specific escape codes reside...
