Messages received over sideband #2 may have two kinds of line break characters: \r or \n. We also have a string suffix which is used to clear the remaining of the screen line in those cases where a previous line is overwritten and the previous line was longer. That may happen if the previous line was terminated with \r. In that case, the string suffix _must_ be inserted before the line break character for obvious reasons.
