The version string is "1;3201;0" and the version is therefore computed 
to be 200, when things work at startup. This corresponds to GNOME 
Terminal 3.4.1.1 on the client (Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS). Right now I can't 
reproduce the problem where the version string is copied into the start 
of the first buffer (I assume this is because my Internet connection is 
good right now). However, after doing a lot of searches I can 
occasionally reproduce the problem where characters are misdisplayed, 
with 'emacs -Q src/conf_post.h'. I repeatedly type "C-s h a s M-<" with 
a few extra C-s's thrown in.
