It already works in every Unix client I've tried so far.  This includes, to
my knowledge: Telnet, TinTin++ (even ancient v1.5), and TinyFuge.  This
leaves some Windows clients not working and most (I won't say all, since I
can't be sure) Unix clients working. It sounds odd, but many programs have
common bugs.

We may include a workaround for it, but we know things won't get fixed that
way if there is indeed a bug.
