Keyboard mapping issue
Hey all, I have a machine (SLES10) which exhibits some weird keyboard mapping behavior related to the arrow keys...
Using a terminal locally, the arrow keys (and home, end, delete, backspace for that matter) work great as expected. However, once I start to use any other application's cli (db2, irb, etc.) I start getting ^[[A (for up) ^[[D (for left) ^[[C (for right) and ^[[B (for down) dumped to the screen. In fact, all of the "special" keys are not "caught" and instead just printed to the screen. Thankfully, the backspace key still works in all situations.
My /etc/inputrc file looks fine, but I've attached it just in case any of you want to see/try it out to see if the behavior is replicable.
Any hints, tips, or suggestions?
Code:

# Eight bit compatible: Umlaute

set output-meta on
set convert-meta off
set term xy
#
# VI line editing
#
$if mode=vi
set editing-mode vi
set keymap vi
$endif
#
# Common standard keypad and cursor
