I would suspect this to be a race condition. But now, Yi (core) is single threaded, so I really fail to see how this can arise there. The only possibility I see is in the vty frontend or vty library. Can you determine if this happens with gtk as well? If not you could try to remove threading in the frontend (look especially at uiRefresh).
