For remote code execution  the victim must press Enter after program exit.

That is, with broken terminals/emulators, such as is rxvt in Debian
Woody (at the time of my writing this).  These devices/programs should
have been fixed long time ago in the first place.  (Not that (albeit
crippled) echo-back escape sequences were a good idea anyway.)

True. My test environment was default slack 9.1 and fbsd 4.7 with xterm. Echo-back esc-sequence seems to be fixed in the current xterm.
