I don't get that with Mathematica 7.0.1:
InputForm[ T[t] /. First @
DSolve[1/a^2 D[T[t], t] + b D[T[t], t] + c^2 T[t] == 0, T[t], t]
]
C[1]/E^((a^2*c^2*t)/(1 + a^2*b))
I have to show InputForm since the standard OutputForm, obviously, uses
the usual 2D layout. And TraditionalForm shows essentially the same
thing (with the stylized e instead of E, and of course all letters in
Italic).
