This could be a pine questions, not really a FreeBSD questions, but here
goes.
Whenever I start pine or pico, it pauses for a second or two before it
does anything, beeps at me, and displays a line at the bottom with a bunch
on nonsense characters which I can't enter into this window; they seem to
come across as control characters; things like the Spanish upside-down
question mark, letters with various accents, etc.  I checked my .pinerc
file, and no character set was included; I tried setting it, as the
comments say, to US-ASCII, but no difference.  This didn't used to happen;
it started a while ago, and it's finally gotten to the point that it's
really annoying me.  I'm running a pretty vanilla 2.2.5-STABLE system, as
of about a week ago; this happened also during at least my last 2 cvsup's,
which were in October and September; I don't remember before then.  I
remember that there was a time when this never happened, and then it
started popping up intermittently, and now it's constant.

Any ideas?
