It is reporting a bit differently than Xterm although the prefix byte is
the same.  Ewww, yuck! I missed exactly what you were noting earlier.

Solution: Just don't use the right Alt-key.  ;-)

In that terminal what is $TERM set to ($ echo $TERM)?

I know there are some tests in main.c for $TERM and the original
onechar() function takes at least the value of use_xterm into account.
I will need to revisit that.
