Yes. Roger's capture is unreadable unless you know or can guess
the exact terminal type he is using and can interpret those
codes.

It's the sort of thing which happens when there's a program
thinks that it is sending to a terminal but is actually sending
to a file.

And it's the sort of thing which everyone tends to do once, then
they realize their mistake and double-check in the future.

It's also likely that it has nothing much to do with the odd
behavior that he's trying to report, but it certainly obscures
whatever that is.
