I just tried the same script with telnet instead of SSH. The exact same thing happens so it's not an SSH thing. I don't know what a VC is that you mentioned but when I run the script from a console, it behaves beautifully with none of the bad behavior I described earlier. So from my perspective, it still could be a gnome-terminal issue. But I suppose it could be an environment thing or maybe even a desktop or Gnome problem. I'm just grasping at straws and hoping for suggestions.
