I had this problem also, so I hooked up a PC Portable as a terminal.
It reproduced screen after screen after screen of useless garbage
that said, quite clearly "I am totally corrupted", and then died. So
I now simply reboot my machine (twice?? Why do I have to do it
TWICE?) when the garbage starts, and use debugging statements in my program.
