we can do it right now I think, as anyway we use signals only when we
are outputting to a terminal so it doesn't cover the pipe case.

I could not find any immediate answer, neither in the ncurses, but on
the terminals I have tried it is enough to reset even in the middle of
another sequence. We could play safe and output it twice, but IMHO it
doesn't seem to be needed.
I'll send an updated version later today.
Thanks,
