I can reproduce this every time.  We use Cyclades serial console
appliances (http://www.avocent.com/).  If I connect to one, and then
do a reboot of the Linux server I am controlling, the terminal gets
into the weird state I described above.  It happens with plain
Terminal on the Mac, as well as iTerm.  It happened with screen (C-a Z
fixed the terminal in screen). In the Mac Terminal program, <cmd>+R
fixes the terminal.

So I don't think it's a bug.. I think the Dell servers send some odd
output to the serial port which puts the terminal into this state.
But also, catting a binary file will occasionally require a reset.
(Not that I do that very often...)
