8 bit input chars on tty broken

[Eric M. Ludlam]

Hi,

  I got a new CVS build running a couple days ago (21.3.50.1) after
  running 21.1.x for quite some time.  In the transition, 8 bit input
  chars on a TTY lost  their meta-ness.  Thus, I press ALT-X which
  creates an 8 bit character, and it inserts a circle with a line
  through it instead of providing my favorite prompt.

  I looked through NEWS on input methods, but saw nothing indicating
  such a change.  I checked my input methods (after learning what
  they were) and it appears that I am running with full defaults
  (nil).

  I also used apropos to look up input methods, 8 bit, and a few
  other things but didn't see a configuration variable for this new
  behavior.

  I retested in 21.1, and 21.2 and they work fine.  ALT-X in an X
  version of the same Emacs also works fine.

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
