Bob,

Thanks for looking at this for me.  Sorry for posting half a story: my 
grief is occurring in Linux.  RH 7.3, RHE 3.0, and RHE 4.0 all do it;
I suspect the problem is my Anzio config.  I'm running AnzioWin 15.1b here
at home (but I think the rev at my office is newer), terminal emulation
is "linux".

Running the test on a SCO box just now, as you did, works properly for me
too.
