I have a minor problem with the M-DEL key.

Environment: 
  GNU Emacs 18.57
  Decstation 2100
  Ultrix 3.1

I use a terminal (no X) that has a Meta-key (an atari ST with
uniterm). TERM = vt100.
I set meta-flag in emacs and it works fine for all keys
except M-DEL (\377). This immediately stops emacs and when I resume it
it is in a quite weird mode (doesn't understand most Ctrl-Keys any
more; flow control is switched on etc.). I use rlogin -8 to connect to
the Decstation, but this doesn't seem to be the problem, because if I
try the same on a vax or a sun all works well.

Is this a known problem? Has anyone an idea? I can't ask our local
emacs-wizard who generated it on the Decstation, because that's
myself... 8^)
