<DEL> revisited

[Ethan A M. <sf...@us...>]

New bug report on the tracker:
   #3285571
   Win32 binary on Windows 7 64-bit
   crash program whenever hit "del" key at on new command line

I seem to recall recent discussion that something, somewhere,
was mis-interpreting <del> as ^D.    Where was that?
Has it already been fixed?
