I was hoping someone more knowledgable would pipe up with a better
answer, but here's my suggestion:  The variable "major-mode" has the
name of the current major mode, and "minor-mode-list" has all possible
minor modes.  A minor mode is active if a variable with that name is
defined and non-nill.  The map name should be the name of one of these
modes with "-map" at the end of it.  You might have to guess which one
is binding the key you don't like.
