On second thought, maybe the real bug is with the termcap entry.  Hitting
the function key labeled delete on my keyboard generates:

   escape [ 3 ~

not character 177.  Maybe function keys always generate multi-character
sequences, so there's generally no confusion between the function key and a
normal key.
