eterm package broken in 21.5?

Hi everyone, I'm running Mandrake 8.2 Linux if that's relevant at all. I recently built 21.5.13 in order to attempt to solve problems I was having with tramp-mode hanging in 21.4.x. The good news is that, for some reason, tramp-mode doesn't hang in 21.5.13 (see http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/tramp-devel/2003-05/msg00006.html) like it does in 21.4.x. The bad news is that, M-x term RET /bin/bash RET gives me a terminal that seems pretty broken. In particular, newlines don't seem to be being read from the inferior process correctly, or something along those lines ("ls" from the bash prompt yields a series of incorrectly broken lines, similar to what you'd see if your stty settings were wrong). This isn't particularly surprising to me, as I realize that we're talking about a beta here, but I'm in a position where I'd really like (read: *need* ;) to have a working tramp-mode *and* a working term-mode, in a somewhat stable XEmacs environment. For the life of me, I cannot seem to obtain a build that will give me all of the above. :( So, I'd like to know if anyone has some ideas as to what might be going wrong? I'm more than willing to contribute to fixing these issues if I'm capable, but I'm a mere elisp dabbler and up until now I've never had much reason to dive into the code base -- hence, I'm not sure where to start.
