One instance is that when running vttest (version 2.7) under a Cygwin
xterm (version XFree864.2.0(165)), I see the following output halfway
through test 1:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Test of cursor-control characters inside ESC sequences.
Below should be four identical lines:

A B C D E F G H I
A B C D E F G H I
16CI
A 
  AB 
     AC 
        AD 
           AE

                 AG 
                    AH 
                       AI 
                          A

Push <RETURN>

Maybe this is a peculiarity of Cygwin. If I recall any others I'll
post them.

By the way, I've updated the terminal emulator package to include a
simple "comms" wrapper program that allows a PC to be more easily used
as a serial terminal. Hopefully, this will encourage someone to to do
a side-by-side comparison with a real terminal.
