Bug Description
I noticed this today while browsing a mailbox index in mutt (it happened to be
displaying a bunch of spam). The display was getting corrupted, and if I redrew
the screen (^L), it would sometimes clear up, and sometimes be corrupted in a
different way.
I've copied the screen in an uncorrupted state, and can reproduce the bug by
catting the file to my terminal. If I cat it several times in a row, the output
changes from one run to the next. There is surely a bug here, but it is not
obvious how or where. I am very interested to know if others can reproduce the
problem.
I will attach my test file.
