After further investigation it appears that installing the 2.1.0 compatibility option overwrites /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 with another version - one with broken NIS code by the looks of things. Re-extracting libc.so.2.2 from the bin distribution cured the problem.

Any idea why stty echoe doesn't work anymore, or is there a more cunning way of getting the current erase character to actually erase on screen instead of just printing loads of ^H/^?
