  I first noticed this problem with 'man' under NETBSD 0.9 a month or so
ago. I traced it to 'more' messing up (which of course, 'man' uses.)
'more' messed up the stty settings. I haven't been able to look at this
and track the problem down completely due to time constraints.

 To confirm this is your problem, try a shell sequence such as:

stty -a > before_stty_settings;more shortfile;stty -a > after_stty_settings

  Look at the before and after stty settings.... :-)
