OK, there is indeed something wierd going on with TERM=linux. Not as
you describe, but the screen fills with ;2cl; (or something like that)
and C-x C-c doesn't work. I can't attach with strace. This is Win98.
I have no problems with TERM=cygwin or TERM=vt200, for example:
TERM=cygwin emacs-nox -q
TERM=vt200 emacs-nox -q
But the default for rxvt is "xterm". Why are you using "linux"? Have
you tried using the default "xterm"?
