Deleting to the beginning of the line certainly was not intended by
remote program in rlogin session I reported: it outputs '\r\n'.  Did
not figure yet what exactly rlogin client outputs to xemacs in this
case.  Anyway, it is just regular `rlogin' program (from `rsh-0.17-29'
rpm), and most likely most other ones will do the same.

So at least `rlogin.el' must be changed after this `comint' change so
that `\r\n' from remote program is handled properly.  Perhaps by
setting `comint-inhibit-carriage-motion' to `t' in all `rlogin-mode'
buffers.
