	You'll need to reset your TERM environment variable to be
'xterm-color' instead of 'xterm'.  On RH 6.0 the terminfo
'exit_standout_mode' (rmso) capability is set to <esc>[27M instead of
<esc>[m as it is for xterm-color (and xterm-old and probably others I
didn't check).  I don't know the reason for the change, but this is the
cause of the problem.

Caution, I'm pretty sure that should read
	<esc>[27m       (change to video attribute 27)
and not
	<esc>[27M       (delete 27 lines)
