Problem #610:
The problem was caused by the screen differ attempting
to actually print the nullchars stored in the screen
buffer instead of printing them as space chars. Thus a
diff chunk that should have been printed as "AAA BBB" got
printed out as "AAA" followed by 3 null chars, followed by
"BBB". The terminal on the client end will not advance the
cursor forward when printing a null char, thus the "BBB" got
printed adjacent to the "AAA".
Problem #612:
The problem was caused by slight messy behavior about the
timestamp ages on rows of the screen that are occluded by a
subbuffer and then the subbuffer shrinks to reveal more of
the screen it was masking. The system didn't mark the screen
rows it previously masked off as being newly changed and in
need of an update.
