Does anyone know what is going on in DEBUG under Dos 2.x?

When using 2.1 debug, I entered the following

	-d ss

the debugger started displaying unformated crap on my screen (lots of control
characters causing screen clears, beeps, ...) which soon repeated itself over
and over (infinite loop).  When I pressed Ctrl-Break the ^C character was
displayed but the loop continued just where it left off.  After Ctrl-Alt-Del
I was back in business.

So I tried version 2.0 and it the same command (i.e. 'd xx' where xx is one
of the segment registers) causes debug to terminate (same as '-q').

So I went clear back to 1.1 and finally the debugger worked correctly, and
I received the following:

	-d ss
	     ^error

Anyone have any ideas?  I don't think I'm up to debugging the debugger!
