I think the problem is the #define VT_MAXCOLS 132 in vt.h. With an
800x600 screen and the small (6x10) font, you get 133 columns. The
problem gets worse with higher resolutions. Perhaps the values of
VT_MAXROWS and VT_MAXCOLS should be calculated instead of hardcoded...

It's an old bug, but I guess dt is old too :) (what's version 1.1.6
though? The latest I had seen was 1.1.5):
