(Get the code!)
Still more information... I booted up my XP partition, and tried telnetting to nethack.alt.org (I just wanted to play, at this point), and I was still having the problem with arrow keys giving the wrong input. So, I downloaded the windows binaries to play locally, and THOSE worked.
So,
Feisty local nethack-console: bad input from keyboard
Feisty telnet nethack: bad input from keyboard
XP telnet nethack : bad input from keyboard
XP local nethack tty/graphical: working
This computer's hardware configuration, by the way, is an Intel Core2Duo on an EVGA 680i motherboard with nVidia 8800GTX video card (proprietary restricted drivers), and a USB Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard (us layout selected in Ubuntu.)
In the interest of science, now, I dug up my laptop (also running Feisty, Sony Vaio VGN-N130G, no windows partition), installed nethack, nethack-console, nethack-qt, and nethack-gnome.
Laptop results:
nethack-console: bad input from keyboard
nethack-qt: working
nethack-gnome: non-working, all windows close after character-creation, see bug #90511
So, I guess for now I'll be playing nethack-qt on my laptop. I have no idea what the root of the problem is, but hopefully someone with a wiser head than mine (and maybe some programming ability) will figure it out.
