Why not? What choice do you have if you want it to be displayed
correctly on VT52?

Of course, you can "hack" the console and change the definition of LF.
It will probably work fine in almost all cases as most output to
stdout/stderr will most likely be plain lines. But maybe
termcap/terminfo use LF the proper way on VT52? So the hack should only
be applied to the console IMO.

But don't call it a bug ;)
