[hardy] doing cat on binary files breaks gnome-terminals charset

[lirel]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

when doing st. like cat /dev/urandom
my prompt and all chars i type get garbeled until i type "reset"

the prompt then looks like this:

▒⎻⎺␌@␉⎼▒␍┌␊≤:·$

note the @ and $ sign still remains untouched
note that this doesn't happen to xterm, rxvt-unicode and does not depent on the shell used.
