After running X, it always reverts to ^H. This makes it difficult to put stty erase in .cshrc, since I don't know what code the key will generate. Can anyone explain why the code generated by this key is unpredictable after a reboot and login, and how to fix it? I can't help thinking that this problem is somehow related to the HUP signal problem in the last article.
