Something very similar is happening currently (since around May 10)
on the pc532 port also.  (It always uses serial ports.)  On the pc532,
just the output part is messed up and an appropriate "stty cs8 -parenb"
gets it fixed.  You do need to type your password to the grabage prompt.
I also have the "stty ..." in my login script, so I get back readable
output before my next input is required.
