Thanks to Tim and also Hrvoje for your responses.  However, I'm not as
swift on the uptake as I used to be .... but it sounds like this is an O/S
response to the "stty" commands in root's .profile (still referencing
$VUE!!), and not a serious error.  Am I right in telling my customer that
his backups are okay?
