Hmm, I guess this is to do with the 'kD' (sent by delete-character key) entry
in our termcap.  Most entries have 'kD=\E[3~', which is the combination sent
by the 'Del' key (below 'Insert').  However, the xterm-xf86-v32 entry has
'kD=\177', which (I guess) is sent by a keyboard with a \real\ 'Delete' key.

I did wonder whether we should change our entry, as there seems to be no way
to distinguish between 'Delete' and 'Del' keys if they send different
sequences.  Of course, this only bites people who use 'Delete' to delete, as
opposed to those who use backspace (cue long discussion ;-).

I'm inclined to change our xterm-xf86-v32 termcap entry :
