Also, right now, emacs kill-ring is not very big, less than 10 items, so I can 
see all of them using `M-y`, and the most recent one, after several cut-and-
paste operations none of them emacs related, is still "test123".

And so now I do the converse operation and that works, and after that copying 
from terminal to emacs works again.

Bottom line, it seems org-mode independent.
