I really should have done a cut and paste on the command or pulled in
my shell script that runs mkisofs, but it's on a different system and
it seemed easier to just type it in.

I suspected that both -allow-lowercase and -allow-multidot were
implicit in -r, but I had never actually tried it.

Could you have wound up using a different character set? If you do a
hard reset on the xterm, does it start working right? Do characters
echo correctly? I'll admit that I have never seen this.
