Package: kernel-image-2.4.16-newpmac
Version: 2.4.16-1.1
Severity: minor

Using mutt on the console, I sometimes see characters or parts of
characters appear.  For example, the ?:Help text on the help line
is often repeated to the edge of the right edge of the screen.

Since this occurs with other curses applications, and often
repeats only parts of characters, I believe this is a kernel
problem.

This occurs on my iBook2.

there are now newer reports against console usage in powerpc against
2.6, so assuming that your bug report got fixed inbetween.

you might want to test the latest Debian installer:
-> http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
daily builds will be soon switched to expected beta3 for etch.

thanks for your feedback.
