Bug#259828: tabs mangled to spaces when copying from xterm

[Lee Revell <rlrevell@joe-job.com>]

Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important


xterm mangles tabs to spaces when copying/pasting with middle mouse
button.

This can be easily reproduced by doing 'diff -u old_file new_file', then
selecting the output and pasting into 'vim'.  The tabs from the output
have been converted to spaces.
