You may not have been using the 18.53 distribution cm.c.

About a month ago I posted a replacment for it to gnu.emacs, and
it was probably picked up by someone and tossed into a copy that
you received.  If you are using the replacment version that I
wrote, you should have no problems with it (as far as I know) --
the above bug has been fixed, so you can just ignore the patch
(be aware that cm.h and term.c were modified as well.)  The
replacement also supports backtabs and multi-character cursor
movement commands.

Sorry about the confusion!  I broke the copying rules somewhat by
not placing a line in the header of the file indicating it had
been changed.  Anybody who distributes non-FSF code, either by
modifying it themselves or by including changes someone else
made, should warn you, too.
