    I suspect that this is because of multi-tty change which was
    installed some days ago.  Those who know about multi-tty
    codes, please check what was broken.

I don't think so, because the version number he gives is that of
EMACS_22_BASE.  In multi-tty, the version number is 23.0.50.

Please investigate this as a bug in Emacs 22.
