I've definitely run into this, and I honestly can't say that I've noticed
any changes to the console emulator since 1.1 was release.  However, it's
quite conceivable that the termcap entry has changed and is now using some
capabilities that we don't support.

The vt220 entry tells the termcap library to get the tab stop settings
file for the vt100, as they are identical.

A workaround (that does indeed work) is to use the "dt" (desktop)
utility.  You should be able to find a version of it where ever you found
the 1.2_BETA snapshot.
