<pre>The easiest way to see the problem is to do on a VT:
$ weston-launch -- --help
I would expect that to print Weston's help text, but it seems to print one line
of garbage in the middle of my bash prompt.
If I redirect stdout and stderr to a file, the file gets the correct printouts.
I assume weston-launch is changing the console modes such that printing gets
scrambled. I wonder if this is even fixable. It also prevents seeing weston
backtraces on the console if weston crashes.
Tested with the latest git revision.</pre>
