In addition to rlogin or gdb, you also get this behavior all the time if your shell is the Korn shell! Basically, I think it happens to anything that opens the terminal in raw mode. Very icky, indeed. I hadn't reported the bug because I was so used to it I took it for granted, but it is so bad that I have not recommended typescript to any one at Bellcore; my standard line is "if you're happy with xterm, stick with it." Of course, most people here use the Korn shell, so this is reasonable advice. I suspect this will be a VERY hard bug to fix, knowing a little about how typescript works, but it is certainly a major bug.
