Thanks for the info. The page I refered to didn't mention that it only
worked in release 21.5.
If anyone is in doubt, I would really appreciate this fix to be part
of 21.4-branch, If anyone could give a hint of where the fix is in
21.5, I wouldn't mind give it a try myself, I am a proficient
C-programmer and a reasonable elisp-hacker.
An important part of it is the change to read_event_from_tty_or_stream_desc
in event-unixoid.c, to call Lstream_get_ichar. Hmm, and the change that is
part of is one of Ben Wing’s formidable megapatches:
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200207/msg00058.html
the date in question is 2002-05-28. (Y’know, we should do a release one of
these days.)
