It's 60 rows x 80 columns. This is a frustrating bug to find. I've been
looking at it for an hour and have haven't got anywhere.

I did notice that my application was sending ^G (bell character) on
stderr. Would this screw something up?

I can't figure out why the terminal is printing currupt data when it
appears that I am passing it a normal string. I ran it through valgrind,
and it didn't detect any problems. :(
