things certaily appear ok on the surface.  my gut reaction is that there
might be some issue with the pseudo-tty that gets created and mapping of
cr/lf characters.  i'd probably add an 'stty -a' to the script so you
can see how things are set in your normal shell (when you run it) as
well as within the pseudo-tty of conserver.  if you see anything
"interesting" as far as differences, you could then add those
adjustments to the script.  since you tried simple characters, the only
other thing that pops into my mind is the cr/lf mapping features of
ttys.

if anything else hits me, i'll email more...
