 Well, the missing information seems to have to do with the terminal. I
 managed to reproduce it now. The step that's missing in the description,
 is that this only seems to happen on a virtual terminal on console.
 
 At least, I still haven't reproduced it on any other terminal (emulator).
 
 Apologies, Mark, for missing the award. ;-)
