The upper case behaviour is due to the "olcuc" flag. A temporary
work-around is stty -olcuc (or "stty sane" as suggested by Ian
W.). But it seems strange that this flag is set by xterm. This problem
does not occur with a xfree-3.1.1 that I compiled myself from the
debian source, using for xterm the two lines patch taken from
RedHat below:

This file is properly compiled, but it is not included in the binary
package. By copying it at the right place, xdm works without any
problem. I have no i386 hamm machine, but I suspect this bug is still
in the current source packaging scripts, and exists also for the i386
binary.
