There is a bug in DMD Release 2.0 src/32ld/version.c; it also appears in
the AT&T UNIX System ToolChest "dmd-pgmg" package.  It shows up on some
host architectures when one uses escape sequences instead of hostagent.

...
VERSION(@(#)32ld:version.c	1.1);
...
byescseq()
...
	char termid[TERMIDSIZE];	/* DAG -- removed "+1" */
...
		lpindex = read(ttyfd,&termid[count],TERMIDSIZE-count);
					/* DAG -- added "-count" */
...
	romversion = termid[sizeof(termid)-2] - '0';
					/* DAG -- was "strlen" */
...
