Interestingly enough, six characters with the fourth and fifth being the same 
could well be "brltty". If that's what it is then it points to an error in how 
what's on the screen is being interpreted. There's always been the possibility 
of something like that happening, especially if an unusual font is being used, 
until the unicode work that's been done in the 3.11 development stream. Is it 
at all possible for you to do the very same test with the latest development 
code?
