Subject: Bug#3974: problem with arrow keys in dselect (xterm)

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.2.11elf

The up/down arrow keys sometimes stop working in the main package
selection screen.  One situation when this happens (100% reliably
for me): run dselect in an xterm window, go to the main package
selection screen, use the "search" function (the / key) once -
and the arrow keys start beeping at me.  Ctrl-Z and fg fixes it.
The problem does not occur on the console.
