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.
