Comment:
Thank you for reporting this, but I regret to say that this is not a bug.

Please read http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO-16.html#sent_bin on how to reset your terminal's display after it gets messed up in the process of displaying binary files as in your case. You may also want to use the command tput.

You may not be able to see what you are typing when you type the reset commands, but type it and press enter anyway.
