I'm on linux again, and don't see a problem (the debris in the status line
appears to be one of the cygwin console window's bugs - I know that it 
has trouble clearing to the end of lines).

I don't see any non-ASCII characters in the page you pointed me to - so it
doesn't _seem_ as if locale would be an issue.

A check on the current and stable changelogs for Slackware doesn't show
anything from this calendar year.  What does "tic -V" say?
