i'm seeing terminal font oddities when logging in to xen DomUs' consoles.

i can't even convince myself that this is xen-related, but i _only_,
and reproducibly, see this problem with xen console login.  i'm
guessing there's a font/term/encoding setting i've missed somewhere
...

in Mac OSX Terminal , @ my Dom0's prompt,

        root@server /root >
        root@server /root > echo $TERM
                vt102

i can, e.g., type "@" characters, and they display as normal,

        root@server /root >  @@@@@@@

if i then log into a xen console,

        root@server /root > xm console testVM

        Welcome to openSUSE 11.1 - Kernel 2.6.27.7-9-xen (tty1).
        
        testVM login: root
        Password:
        Last login: Mon Feb  9 16:09:17 PST 2009 on tty1
        Have a lot of fun...
        root has logged on tty1 from local.

        root§testVM /root >

note that the prompt @ the DomU now displays,

        root§testVM
            ^

rather than the expected,

        root@testVM
            ^

further, typing @ signs,

        root§testVM /root > §§§§§

displays                ^^^^^  characters incorrectly.

checking,

        root§testVM /root > echo $TERM
                vt102

what's, to me, strangest of all, is

        root§testVM /root > exit
        (ctrl-] to Dom0 prompt ...)

        root§server /root >

the Dom0 prompt, in the same shell/terminal window, now displays
incorrectly as well.

the only way i'm able to recover from that is to close the window and
open a new one.

any ideas what's going on here?  not critical, but irksome ...
