Bug#721978: xterm: "ls -al /etc/ssl/certs" causes xterm to stop

[John Moyer <jrm@rsok.com>]

Package: xterm
Version: 278-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
ls -al /etc/ssl/certs
start xterm on local host. ssh to remote host running Wheezy. ls
There is no problem if I do this on local host, so maybe ther problem is 
some combination of ssh and xterm. strace on ssh shows it is in read().

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
stty sane < /dev/pts/0 > /dev/pts/0
   * What was the outcome of this action?
No change
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
characters echoed and input accepted

ls -al /etc/ssl/certs | cat -v 
behaves as expected.

/etc/ssl/certs/T*Sertifika* is the file name that causes problems. There is no
problem with the Xfce desktop terminal except that the filename does not
display correctly.
