It seems that something happened recently where some of the termcap 
routines now do some I/O optimization.  Like, rather than send the le 
(move cursor left) sequence n times, it will use the LE sequence to move 
n characters in a single command.  The VT100 emulation in the Mac ite.c 
doesn't handle the parameters being passed in the escape sequences, 
instead moving just one character regardless of the parameter.  The 
following patch to sys/arch/mac68k/dev/ite.c takes care of this.

NB:  There may be other sequences that are also broken, so this may _not_ 
be a complete fix.  But at least it takes care of some wierd terminal 
behaviour experienced using tcsh and command recall/editting!
