This happens on 2.2 kernels, too. As I understand it, Borland had to tweak
JBuilder's keyboard handling to work around a bug in the IBM 1.3.0 JDK
originally bundled with JBuilder 4. If you run JB4 on the IBM jdk, the
escape key works okay. If you put it on a SUN JDK, the Escape key breaks,
as does the del key, because the IBM workaround isn't needed on Sun and so
creates its own new bugs.
JB5 and JB6 are bundled with Sun JDKs and they work fine.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
