I don't get it. Sometimes it will highlight text and color things and

then it should line it up with the next one. All text After a curly
brace that is indented then when I got to a new line and add the ; it is
supposed to line back up with the line above it. Sometimes this works
sometimes it does not. Using fundamental and perl-mode it doesn't
matter. It appears almost completely random. This is using emacs from a
terminal screen.
it works one way with some uids, another with others (different env settings or different user-specific config settings)
it works one way if you log in as root, another if you su to root (the env settings are not being reset)
it works one way from some terminals, another from others (might be a different env setting for TERM=)
it works one way for some file extensions, another for others
it works one way if a shebang (#!) line is present, another if it is not
These are the kinds of things that I see affecting other console apps, so they might be relevant to emacs behavior as well.
Paul ... I doubt there is any way to diagnose a problem with your setup if you cannot associate it with *something*. I doubt emacs grabs a value from /dev/urandom to decide how to initialize.
