Well hm. I went and installed the same xterm on my desktop, and could
still produce. I then tried installing the exact same set of terminfos,
and can still produce (on a new tmux server). You mentioned a Linux
kernel bug... maybe that's it? I'm running 2.6.24-26-generic on Ubuntu
for the desktop machine (the one that's broken).

Or maybe not. I just tried running the same session attached twice, the
other running in urxvt. Urxvt by itself doesn't produce the problem, but
when I run in both xterm and urxvt attached, urxvt gets glitchy too. Not
in the same way: it seems to always show the full output, but sometimes
it doesn't show the last line, and sometimes the last line shows the
command I had just hit <Enter> on (rather than a fresh prompt).

For S&G, I also tried in screen, and was able to reproduce there, too.
So looks like not a tmux bug, but heck if I know where the bug _is_.
Screen doesn't use libevent, so that's not looking likely.
