It seems it's related to the fastScroll handling.

In xterm-256 if fastScroll is set, xterm skips large chunks of outputs
like cat /usr/share/dict/words or dmesg

But in xterm-258 the screen flickers and has lots of artifacts.

Maybe in some case the screen will be totally locked? If this is not
that case then I will open a separate bug.

I'm not seeing the problem, here.  Just to check, if you have the scroll-lock
key set, it _will_ behave like that (but the LED should be lit for that case).

If it's not scroll-lock, then it's something that I have to see how to repeat.
