stty -a | grep erase.  see if they're different.

i see more of these every day.  are viruses (virii?) really that bad or
is it all just media hype?  except for a brief stint doing dev on macs
and dos followed by doing dev on a proprietary os/lang, i've always
worked on unix boxes.  the whole concept of a virus is just bizzare for
me and not something i've worried much about.  occasionally something
cropped up like emacs modelines, ./.exrc, file access in ps and it's
usage in ghostscript.  but i've never gotten any of these things myself.

has anyone here actually gotten a virus on a mac or windows box?
did it actually do anything harmful?
