>Description:
I am not sure what triggers the problem, but I think it may be having
more than one virtual terminal open.  I will type something, or it
will be sent to standard output by a program or script, and as soon
as it is no longer on the command line itself (ie. scrolled up in the
buffer), some characters will be blanked out, changed to extended ascii
characters, and/or in colors other than the default. This doesn't happen in X Windows.
>How-To-Repeat:
Type anything in the second or third console
