I'm assuming TERM="xterm".
Type: echo -ne "\e[c" and see what numbers are returned in
both terminals.

The terminal is set for "normal cursor keys" (DECCKM).
Set it to "application cursor keys". Type: echo -ne "\e[?1h"
You could also start a new xterm:
xterm -xrm "*xterm*appcursorDefault: true"

I just can't get that mode in my xterm. If you can get the redhat
one to work, then you could compare the config files to the debian
one.
