This is a script issue--it's updating the xterm statusbar (which is the
titlebar in this case) and not clipping the length. xterm's maximum status
length is apparently 232 chars. The sequence looks something like:
^[]0;text goes here^G
When it goes too long, the extra chars are being dumped to the term. Since
xterm status updating has to be done with xecho -r, it appears to be display
corruption when it's really not per se. The ^G and extra text just get
echoed wherever the cursor is at the time because of the use of xecho -r.
