Sorry. I should have specified. I get ^? printed on the screen in

A Ctrl-h works properly as a backspace should.
I cannot reproduce this on any of the builds I've done since the middle
of March (i.e. the only ones I have around).
showkey says the backspace keycode is 14.
dumpkeys says keycode 14 is Delete.
Same here, so I doubt that is the problem. Perhaps vim somehow
miscompiled? I have full logs for vim if you want to compare.
Yes, that would be good. Please send off list.
BTW, I have fixed the symptom with an addition to /etc/vimrc with:
if &term == "linux"
set t_kb=^?
endif
where the ^? is really a delete character created by a ctrl-v <BS-key>.
I would really like to find the problem and fix it however.
