OK, I have narrowed it down to an issue with putty.

When I use nvi/vim from kde or cli, numeric keypad behaves as I expect.

When I ssh from one debian box to other debian boxen and use nvi/vim,
again, numeric keypad behaves as expected.

However, when I use putty to ssh into these remote debian boxen from our
windoze boxen, I get this bizarre, unexpected behaviour!

I just pored through putty's docs, found nothing and opened a bug report
with them.

Anybody else experienced this?  Any ideas?
