Yup, sounds familiar.  I've been experiencing the same problem for some
time, but used to attribute it to other factors:

	- (*&)$#(&# terminal
	  I used to have a Wyse 50.  I really hated it, and couldn't wait
	  'til I got my hands on a 95.  Well I finally did.

	- Windowing system
	  In-house, we use a CRT windowing program that we got from I don't
	  know where, and I thought that maybe the windowing program was
	  the one acting up with my text.  Also, at times I thought that
	  perhaps the program generating those funny terminfo files was the
	  one acting up.

Now that somebody else has mentioned it, I am disabused of my
misperceptions.  Perhaps there is a bug in the display code; I don't know.
