> When a console-mode Emacs initializes its terminal, it sends the escape
> sequence to switch to the alternate screen twice. This causes problems
> when running under screen (and maybe other terminal programs as well):
> exiting or suspending Emacs completely clears the screen. I have
> attached a patch that fixes this.
