I applied the update, and the terminal type is now set correctly once I
log in. However, the terminal type is still not set properly at the
login prompt itself. When entering your user name & password the
Backspace and other "extended" keys don't work. You have to press CTRL+H
in order to backspace.
Another problem I've noticed is that the version of Emacs included with
Athena 8.4.14 corrupts the bash shell's display. This essentially means
that the root user can't use emacs from the console. This is a serious
problem-- it makes system administration difficult.
