I just came up against the bug in the keymap stuff where a string
starting 0x80 or more from the beginning of it's key's definition
doesn't print correctly.  In my own keymap display software I can
duplicate the consoles results by makeing the offset variable a
signed.  Since I get the value from a byte length field, a 0x80 
is a negative number.  Easy enough to fix mine but C=s isn't 
helped.  
    Is C= aware of this (and if not what's that bug reporting email
address)?  Is this fixed in 2.0?
    I've also had another problem with keymaps.  If I use setmap,
the keymap changes for all the current CLI's.  If I use CD_SETKEYMAP,
it only affects the current console (not even, as I would expect,
affecting the CLI the program was run from).  If I use
CD_SETDEFAULTKEYMAP it's set for new CLI's/consoles, but not current
ones.  How can I duplicate the actions of setmap?
