[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#572378: xfce4-terminal: terminal is unusable after cat'ing a non-ascii character from an otherwise plain-text file

Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.2.8-5
Severity: normal
We had a user with a failed login attempt on one of our servers using non-ascii characters for the username. When xfce4-terminal tries to 'cat' the file, the terminal becomes unusable. The behavior is the same as if you tried to 'cat' a binary file.
I am reporting this as a bug because both xterm on my Debian Lenny machine, xfce4-terminal on 0.4.8 on my Pentoo testing VM, and putty all do not show this behavior.
The backport depends shown below are left over from when I tested the xfce4-terminal from lenny-backports. The xfce4-terminal was tested on this issue with both the regular depends from Lenny, as well as the depends from Lenny-backports.
I can not include the entire file but I can include the offending line:
