Uh oh, I have this, too, on my laptop. I noticed it several days ago,
but promptly forgot about it when I moved on to do something else. In
my case, I was trying to do something interactively with guile -- you
can imagine how impossible that is without '(' :-)

With the `cat', I actually typed `Hello(\n'.

Hmm, somewhere erase2 is getting set to the left paren.
This is happening with xterm and rxvt, but not on the console. I
can't reproduce it on my desktop, which is running the same version of
FreeBSD and XFree86. I guess now that I'm aware of it again I'll try
to figure out what is going on. Hints welcome.
Cheers,
