Please describe the problem:
The title bar, the prompt text, input characters, and any displayed text become garbled beyond all recognition. Commands I issue still work, but they are totally illegible.

The bug occurs while tailing a growing binary mysql data file.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start copying a large mysql table using the mysql client and a statement like 'CREATE TABLE `large_table_copy`
 SELECT * FROM `large_table`;'
A mysql *.MYD file should begin to grow for the currently being created table
2. Open a gnome-terminal window and issue 'tail /path/to/large_table_copy.MYD'


Actual results:
The binary data streams accross the screen as expected, but the normal text of standard terminal operation becomes garbled.

Expected results:
The binary data should stream accross, but the terminal window should keep the same title and prompt, any text input should remain legible and in the same language as before issuing the tail.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I have a screenshot of the bug being reproduced in 3 windows, the mysql query is also shown in another window and in a final window I have typed out the command to reproduce the bug.
