Speaking of which, if it'sthe same repeated characters problem I saw I've been meaning to look into that (since I can reproduce it easily), but I just haven't had time due to day-jobness. I wsa under the vague impression that we were doing a write() into a pipe somewhere that was doing a partial write and returning, and the retry code wasn't skipping the already written bit when it retried the write. (Could be wrong, but it matches the behavior I saw. If the xterm it's writing into can't take data for a bit because the system's gone all swap happy, that's when I see the repeats...) Dunno if this is the problem you've been seeing...
