I agree my "fix" is a coverup, but, as I see it, this has gone on for waaayyy 
too long.  xterm's tty handling needs a major rewrite, perhaps along the 
lines of OpenSSH's, and I just don't see that happening any time soon.  So 
perhaps, a post-it on your refrigerator would be more productive than 
reminding everybody else.
