The cariage return produces a linefeed only, so the "Password:" prompt (which displays normally otherwise) is below the accented 'i' after the username. After entering the password,  I am given the banner and then the login prompt.

Now it gets to a nice pretty login, but that's as far as I can get. When I attempt to log in, it just gives me another login prompt instead of the Password prompt.

Any ideas?
