strange konsole behavior on hardy

[Paul S]

I'm using hardy and kde 3.5.9, but this problem has been with konsole 
even on 3.5.8 on hardy.

It seems the konsole is getting carriage returns and yes signals without 
any input on my part.  I notice it when I go to "aptitude 
install/full-upgrade".  The session just starts scrolling lines and does 
not pause for the usual yes / no dialog.  Here's an example .. the blank 
lines are as they scrolled on the screen.  It's almost as though konsole 
is generating it's own carriage return signal.  Also, notice there's no 
prompt for Yes / No, like usual in doing aptitude commands.  Any ideas?

I also was running kde 3.5.8 on gutsy, but never experienced this.
