This is my first bug report.  I'm not sure if this the correct
address (bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu).

I noticed this problem a couple of months ago. I belive the image
I'm running is: /usr/local/gnubin/emacs

OK, the bug:
If the cursor is sitting on top up a tab character and I type C-D
the tab gets removed from the buffer just the way it should.

If the cursor is immediatly to the right of a tab and I type a
backspace the same thing should happen.

Instead what happens is that the tab gets replaced by seven (7)
spaces, as though there were eight spaces before hand.
