I also noticed this change. I use bash, so this is not exclusive to tcsh.
I had to add "stty erase ^?" on my .profile to solve this one.
tcsh actually handles it correctly (unless you remap ^? to something else). But this is still an issue in vim (and possibly other applications as well).
If you use stty, vim and everything else will work fine.
On the other hand, this MIGHT be the correct behaviour. When using the console on older version, we would already have ^?. When on xterm, we would get ^H. At least now the behaviour is consistent.
I don't know if it's correct behavior or not, but it's certainly changed behavior. I'm trying to figure out what changed (and why).
I agree. This kind of change on a non-major update is disturbing.
Then again, I'm used by now on getting different behaviour on this one for every linux distro I have to use (not to mention Solaris, AIX etc), so I really don't worry about it.
