Last Line is Jumbled?

[Tony Baechler]

This is just a random guess, but it sounds like a curses problem.  Does it 
do this on all consoles or just the current one?  In other words, if you 
have a console which is jumbled, does the problem go away if you switch to a 
different console?  Also, what if you press ^L to redraw the screen?  There 
is a command included with curses just for this problem.  Next time, try the 
following:

reset

If that doesn't seem to help, try this:

clear
reset
clear

The first "clear" command is probably unnecessary, but it will clear your 
screen.  Obviously you need to run this from a shell.  I find that ^L 
usually works just as well and is quicker.
