Sorry, but I'm not able to replicate this problem with current
gretl built from the source code on my home PC running Ubuntu
8.04.

I started out trying to install the .deb files for gretl 1.8.0 but
could not complete this, since the debs have dependencies that are
not satisfied on Ubuntu 8.04 (libgfortran3).  However, I did
install from the deb packages the most recent gretl version that
is available for Hardy, namely gretl 1.7.1, and did not experience
any problem with the console.

I would suggest that you send a report to the Debian packager,
Dirk Eddelbuettel.  I think you can find contact information at
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gretl.html .  Dirk is a long-time
friend of gretl and a conscientious maintainer.
