[summer@possum summer]$
That's bad enough, but
1 It does naughty things to my screen before it needs to.
2 Having done those naughty things, it does not undo them when it
discovers it didn't need to do them in the first place.
Here's the result:

Happens in kvt and konsole, both components of kde, and in xterm.
I'm running Red Hat Linux 6.1, nmh-1.0-6
In case it's not clear, the 'naughty thing' is (at the very least) turning
off the echoing of keyboard input; the reset command clears the problem
)and the screen!).
I think I've had this problem before too, with other commands in nmh.
