I can reproduce it in gnome-terminal. If this is a bug anywhere, it's

gnome-terminal does have its problems, but the bug we're talking about
is a bug in ncurses that was fixed last year...
Isn't it a bug (however marginal) if gnome-terminal and xterm handle
the same control sequences differently? The file Paul sent me displays
fine in a "real" xterm, despite the extra control sequence.
oh that.... gnome-terminal doesn't use a state machine - it uses random
logic (several switch statements tied together with ad hoc logic).
Actually that's what most of the terminal emulators do. A hardware
terminal would probably use a state machine, since it's compact.
