I think I now know what triggered the problem: in the "svn diff", there was a (new) PDF file that wasn't recognized as binary. So, basically, the contents of the PDF file were output to the xterm. And indeed, I can reproduce the problem with a "cat" on various PDF files. For instance, gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/texinfo/txirefcard.pdf.gz -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
