At a guess, your TERM setting doesn't match the actual terminal emulator
you're using.

There are many terminal emulators around -- including an extended vt102
emulator built into xterm, emulators built into various Windows
applications, and so on.  It would help if you could provide precise
details on how you're connecting *to* your system and how you're
displaying the results.

I would expect you get different results depending on how you connect
(e.g., Putty on Windows versus actual OI console running an xterm).
