I've noticed this problem as well - but only during a telnet or rlogin
session from a Solaris (SUNOS 5.3) machine.  Logins from other machines are
fine - I just haven't had a chance to figure this one out.  I have gone through
the gambit of stty options, but haven't found the combination that works.

Cheers,
James
