Bug#416125: libvte9 sometimes outputs incorrect colours

[David Weinehall]

Package: libvte9
Version: 1:0.16.0-2

When using libvte9 with gnome-terminal (I don't have any other
application using libvte9 installed and I don't know of any, so I cannot
test with any other application), the normal output colour sometimes end
up a bit more intense.

I'm personally using the "Linux console" colour scheme, but all colour
schemes yield the same result; changing from gray on black to other
combinations does not make any difference either.

The bug seems to be 100% reproducible, and the trick to do it is to use
a command that doesn't yield any output.

Some examples are:

cd
printf ""
rm -f <non-existing file>

Just pressing <return> does NOT trigger the bug, however.

The bug does not seem to depend on my choice of shell either; dash,
posh, and bash all show the same symptoms.
