Yes. But 2 more problems turned up after that patch.
The code in CVS is now correct, but the patch attached to the tracker item is not sufficient.

The wxt, qt, and aqua terminals have all had bug-fixes since the 5.0.2 tarball release.
I am wondering if it is worth making a new release 5.0.3 even though it has only been
one month since 5.0.2.  What do you think?
