I too have encountered the same symptoms. I have no idea why this started
happening, but I have found a couple ways around it. First, two Control-Ds
will act as a Return if you find the status lines appearing. Second, the
stty command will fix it totally. I use `stty status ^T' to remap the status
command to Control-T rather than Control-J (the ^T is a carat, T):
akira:/home/bhlewis [123]>su
Password:load: 0.03 cmd: su 24921 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 624k
[2 ^D's here]
akira:/home/bhlewis [101]#exit
exit
akira:/home/bhlewis [124]>stty
speed 38400 baud;
lflags: echoe echok echoke echoctl pendin
iflags: -ixany ignpar
oflags: -oxtabs
cflags: cs8 -parenb -hupcl
status
^J
akira:/home/bhlewis [125]>stty status ^T
akira:/home/bhlewis [126]>stty

I hope this helps,
