bug#1072: Viper version is 3.14 of April 06, 2008; can't exit viper insert mode with ESC using emacsclient -t

[Michael Kifer <kifer@cs.sunysb.edu>]

It is
(viper--intercept-key-maps viper--key-maps)
but it does not look like this kicks in.

The value of  viper--intercept-key-maps  is
((viper-vi-intercept-minor-mode keymap
                                (escape . viper-intercept-ESC-key)
                                (26 . viper-toggle-key-action))
 (viper-insert-intercept-minor-mode keymap
                                    (escape . viper-intercept-ESC-key))
 (viper-emacs-intercept-minor-mode keymap
                                   (26 . viper-change-state-to-vi)))

So, the keymaps are set correctly, but they do not seem to kick in.
