Re: strange behavious in xterm

it sounds like the "kill", do a:

stty -a

and look to see what "kill" is mapped to.

I hope stty is not recognizing @ character there.

stty eol "^@"

Put this in your xwindows profile file, so that it will be activated for every login.

HTH.
Easy to suggest when don't know about the problem!
