The xunmap program is not an Athena program, and is not compatible with
the release 7.2 console (you were using a test machine).
The new console has built-in anti-annoyance features. See man console
and man config-console for more information. A way to do what you want
(but only on the test machines, until the release hits the field) is
to add
Console*autoUnmap: 10
to your .Xresources file, and the line
config_console
to your .startup.X file.
