[Bug 1050663] [NEW] Weird key bindings in vi in an ssh session from 64bit to 32bit

[Mitch Claborn]

Public bug reported:

I support a number of systems remotely, and often find myself using vi
in an ssh session to edit various files. In some cases, but not all,
when I press the up arrow (in insert mode) I get a capital letter A and
a new line instead of the cursor moving up. Other arrow keys have
similar issues. This only seems to be a problem when in insert mode.

My system is 12.04 64 bit.  When I connect to a remote system that is 64
bit it works fine, but when I connect to a remote 32 bit system, I have
the described problem.
