Known problem with the SunOS 4.0.x (for x in 0, 1) serial port driver.
If you have a Software Support agreement with Sun, call the 800 number
and request the Answer Center send you the `General TTY' serial driver
patch tape, a.k.a. (somewhat cryptically) `YAPT 5.5a'.  Or else wait
until you get SunOS 4.0.3, which incorporates said patch tape.

This phenomenon has nothing whatsoever to do with X or xterm.
