Strange output of version

User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (X11/20070911)

On recent fedora versions:

$ echo "disp(OCTAVE_VERSION)" | octave -qf > version
$ od -a version
0000000 esc   [   ?   1   0   3   4   h   2   .   9   .   1   3  nl
0000017

Note the escape sequence output before the version string.


Setting TERM="" fixes it.

Looks like it is:

smm=\E[?1034h

which seems to have been added to the xterm terminfo information, which is "turn on meta mode (8th-bit on)"

Anyone have any ideas on why this is being output?
