Since we run VMS 4.1 it often happens that a user gets spontaneous blanks
on his terminal. This can be one or two blanks, but it also often happens that
at once you see the cursor move to halfway the current line.
If it happens in the middle of a command you're typing, you'll get an error
message, so VMS also sees them.
At first we thought it was a problem of the DMZs on the VAX8600, but we also
have seen it happen on the VAX785 (which didn't have the problem under 3.7).
Has anyone seen and/or solved this problem?
