Details

Description.
In some cases the command "reset" is only partially restores the
console: pressing a key with keycode 32 leads to the display
mathematical character (he may correspond to hex:9f, dec:159) instead of
Cyrillic "В" (dec:247, hex:F7). You may reproduce this problem with
attached file. In addition from this point it becomes impossible to copy
any Cyrillic symbols by mouse. "showconsolefont" command always and
everywhere gives correct result.

Additional info:
Linux 3.1.5-1-ARCH # 1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 11 06:26:14 UTC 2011 i686
LOCALE="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
KEYMAP="ru4"
CONSOLEFONT="ter-k32n"
CONSOLEMAP="/usr/share/kbd/consoletrans/koi8-r_to_uni.trans"

Steps to reproduce:
1) /usr/bin/nroff -Tlatin1 -man clive.1 | less
2) Switch keyboard to russian language.
3) Push "D".

P.S. "attach file" button does not work. Get attach there http://clck.ru/SRo3

Not complete fix, but temporary measure 'printf "\033(K"' or 'echo -ne "\033(K"'.
