This seems to be an unintended side-effect of adding optional support for
ansi color output using the dumb terminal.   As a word-around, disabling color 
support fixes it

 #define NO_DUMB_COLOR_SUPPORT    at the top of dumb.trm

I'll work on a more satisfactory fix and commit it after a bit of testing.
