C-k, or kill-line, behaves exasperately differenly in the terminal
(emacs -nw) and in X.
In the terminal, it does not delete the line, only the characters in the line.
You have to type C-u 1 C-k to kill the line.
In X, kill-line works flawlessly, killing the line.
I've checked that I've the same kill-whole-line value (namely: nil),
and I can't find in the el code why it should behave differently.
On X: GNU Emacs 21.3.50 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) of 2003-06-02 on thalassa
In terminal: GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i586-suse-linux, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-03-28 on Cameron
but that's been observed for at least version 20.7...

Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.

Uhm, yes ... but isn't that how C-k is supposed to work?

That sounds like a bug. I can't reproduce it, though.

But if you prefer `kill-line' to delete the trailing newline as well
as the content of the line, you should set `kill-whole-line' to t.

Ok, so the bug is that on X, kill-line deletes the trailing newlines
even when kill-whole-line is nil...
Now on, I'll set kill-whole-line to t in ~/.emacs...

I suspect that the difference is between the Emacs versions. How
about you try "emacs -nw" for the Emacs that you normally run under
X11?
