description: 
I think I first experienced this with 9.0. It also happens with 9.1 and cooker.
(I don't think it happened with 8.x but I'm not sure. I could test with Mandrake
8.x if it would help to fix this.)

This manifests itself in many ways under different circumstances. One test: Try
doing this:

cat > /dev/null
test(backspace)(backspace)(backspace)(backspace)this
(control-d)

Expected output: this
Actual output  : test^H^H^H^Hthis

This does *not* happen with gnome-terminal, konsole, or rxvt (so I guess those
could be used as workarounds), nor does it happen at a text console. FWIW, it
does not happen with xterm on Red Hat, Debian, or Gentoo either.
