Followup: I got a little help, and the problem is in my $PS1, which was set to ": nr@homedog ! $(branchdisplay) ; " Apparently ksh is trying to backspace over the characters in "$(branchdisplay)", not realizing that these characters produce no output. This behavior triggers some kind of fault (or at least strangeness) in xterm. I worked around the problem by updating my keyboard trap to run the 'branchdisplay' function and set PS1 every time a $'\r' is entered.
