This problem also shows up under System V/386 2.2. Under that system I have
had great success in regaining full use of the console by using: tput clear.

Note that relief does seem to be in the works for System V/386 users, I have
NEVER seen this problem under System V/386 3.0e...

(I guess they fixed it.)
