When scrolling through history the previous line on the terminal is overwritten

Bug report

• Operating System : Mac
• Terminal Emulator : xterm
• Bug behaviour and Expected behaviour :
  When scrolling through history, the previous line is overwritten.
  Previously did not overwrite the previous line on the terminal. Now with every couple of scrolls it overwrites the previous line.
• Caused by :
  0e4af13
  After I removed the above checkin i did not see the issue again.

-Sample Example :
In the beginning it looked like ->
Connected to : http://localhost:8091/. Type Ctrl-D or \QUIT to exit.

Path to history file for the shell : /Users/isha/.cbq_history
cbq>

After scrolling through history a bit then it eats up a previous line
Connected to : http://localhost:8091/. Type Ctrl-D or \QUIT to exit.

cbq> CREATE INDEX ......

The above Path to ... line is replaced.

Thanks
Isha

Sorry for the late reply.

To clarify, are you really using xterm (presumably on XQuartz) on Mac, and not Terminal.app?

Unfortunately, I don't have easy access to a Mac these days, so it may be a while before I can look into this in detail.
