+.Sh BUGS
+Several firmware revisions on
+.Nm
+boards have a terminal emulation bug that shows up when using the
+screen control sequences for inserting blank lines
+near the bottom end of the screen
+(i.e., the control sequences produced by the
+.So al Sc and So AL Sc
+capabilities found in the
+.Xr termcap 5
+database).
+The most likely occasion for triggering
+this bug is to use a full-screen editor such as
+.Xr vi 1
+on the workstation's console.
+.Pp
+To work around this you can set your
+.Ev TERM
+environment variable to the
+.Sq sun-cgsix
+terminal definition which is the same as the
+.Sq sun
+entry, except that the
+.Sq al
+and
+.Sq AL
+capabilities have been removed (at the cost of making slower the scrolling of
+the screen).
