Do you (or your vendor) build with Mule? [A report with M-x
report-emacs-bug (with a reasonably fresh net-utils package) tends to
help here, bandwidth be damned.]
I've seen similar lossage with *terms (I forget which flavor), but not
in XEmacs yet.
Xterm and RXVT derivatives both show this, with RXVT derivative seeming
to be easier to trigger it in from my highly unscientific memories.
RXVT probably shows it too, but I never used that.
