Public bug reported:
When X is failing to start, gdm transfers control to:
/etc/gdm/XKeepsCrashing
which then displays helpful dialogues on a text-termainl. The box-
drawing output used by '/bin/usr/fmt' spews UTF-8 output onto a terminal
that is not running in UTF-8 mode, causing ugliness that wraps around
the right-hand-side of the console and causes corruption.
** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
Importance: Untriaged
Status: Unconfirmed
