I seem to be having the same problem with the Sun server (X11V3).
However, the problem occassionly occurs even when the server exits
normally (i.e., I type "exit" at the xterm prompt). 
All I get is a bunch of control characters when I type something.
Killing my login shell doesn't help either.  I have to boot my workstation
to correct the problem.

Any better solutions?
