From what I remembered you only seem to get this bug if you select BIOS for the 
console which is what I require since I have no video support,

Good luck,

Looks like I'm having the same problem here.  I tested the build I
made in Ubuntu 9.10 i386, on a VMware Workstation 7 virtual host and
my output looks VERY similar.  See attached screenshot...

I'll test this tonight on my 10MHz XT clone and see if it behaves
better on an actual PC.

Ideas, comments?
