difficulty: fun: Just needs tuits, and not many of them.

In 0.71, the fix for vuln-auth-prompt-spoofing added 'trust sigils' -- PuTTY icons at the start of locally generated lines -- to distinguish them from data sent by the server.

If an existing window is reused for a second session with the Restart Session action, trust sigils are missing from lines generated locally as part of the new session; they are indistinguishable from server-generated lines.
