TERM was set to xterm. After taking a cue from MS telnet (which didn't seem to have the problem), I set TERM to ansi. The problem went away. Any idea what would have caused TERM=xterm to start misbehaving, and how I can get the correct behavior back?

When editing documents in vi, after a :wq I won't get the shell prompt on a new line anymore. I'll see something like: [dan@tcsl dan]$ 50629C written Which is the shell prompt over the text: "test.txt" 637L, 50629C written This is on a RH 7.2 system, and it's not specific to my user/profile. I'm pretty sure it didn't use to be like this, any ideas what would cause this kind of behavior, so I can be more specific in my searching? I'm ssh'ing in with PuTTY. clear and reset don't help. When I ran 'screen', it worked properly, but after exiting the original problem continued. I don't think I ever changed the prompt or anything. I'm at a loss.
