W # prints '28' rather than clearing the screen

All,

Recently, a Cache 2017.2.2 system started printing “28” rather than clearing the screen when doing a “W #” in programmer mode.

Does anyone have any idea how this could happen?

This should clear the screen, but doesn't:

XXXX:YYYY>W #
28

%IS works correctly.

D ^%IS

IOF="#,$C(27,91,72,27,91,74)"

IOST="C-Cache Terminal"

The problem is that W @IOF displays '28' for the '#'. I assume this is coming from Cache. Something got set in Cache to mishandle the W #. Some Cache accounts work correctly, and some do not.
