bug in read-key-sequence

[Richard Stallman]

When I eval (read-key-sequence "Foo") and type DELETE, I get
"^[[3~".  It ought to return [delete].

Strangely, all the other function keys seem to work properly.

Could someone who has recently worked on read-key-sequence
take a look at this?

I can't reproduce that with current CVS on an xterm.  The key sequence is
correctly translated to [deletechar].

It works for me too -- both in xterm and in a console (on GNU/Linux).

I see it was caused by a strange definition in my .emacs.
Sorry to waste people's time.
