Mark,
I was telnetting to athena.dialup from my Athena VS3100 m38. Ron
Hoffmann said that he reported this bug to you earlier. He came in and
fixed it with the control-l thing and said it had to do with a timer.
Something about the timer was causing something on the screen to be
over-written because I hadn't typed a command within 60 seconds.
I'm not overly concerned - just thought you ought to know that this is
happening.

----------------
I'd have to know more about how you were running the system (what kind
off terminal were you using, what terminal type did you specify, did
you have zephyr running, etc) to know for sure, but I expect that it
is not a moira problem at all but either something else writing to
your screen while moira was running, or improper configuration of
terminal parameters.
If it happens again, try typing a ^L (that's control-L) which will
refresh the screen.
