What shell are you using?  What are your startup scripts for that
shell?

Your per-shell invocation script (.cshrc for csh, or whatever your ENV
variable points to for Bourne/Korn shell derivatives) should not contain
commands which echo things to the screen or mess with terminal types.
Those sorts of commands should only be executed in your per-login
invocation script (.login for csh, .profile for sh).  The same also
applies to the system-wide /etc/profile and /etc/csh.*).  Specifically,
you should _not_ have ENV pointed at .profile - check the sh man page,
Invocation section, for more details.
