man / xterm display quirk - repeating chars

[Andrew Fowler <andy@swissroll.net>]

Hi all !

I get strange display problems in xterms using commands like man and
info.  Here's an example from #man man:

sion, but [...] compile time.  Also, by default,  any
cat  pages[...]ip.  Each `global' manual page hierary
chy such a[...]n may have any directory  as  its  cat

Notice end line of line 2, the y from the previous line has been
repeated.  Sometimes the repeat occurs over several lines.  I also
noticed in doing the copy and paste into this mail that the extra y was
not there (instead, the pasted text contained a '-').

This isn't exactly critical but it's a little annoying.  Anybody else
found this, or more importantly, anybody found a solution to this
problem ??

Thanks in advance,

Andz
