Do you have a simple program to demonstrate this?

Also, what key sequence does your 'Delete' key generate?  You can
determine this by doing the following; at the shell prompt hit the
following keys:

	<Ctrl>-v <delete>

The key sequence will be displayed at the prompt.  Some possible outputs
could be ^H, ^?, or ]]~3 or something similar.

Oh, and one other thing, cbreak doesn't really 'mask' the delete/erase
keys.  'Mask' implies _blocking_ of these key presses.  cbreak disables
the processing of these keys, and passes the key sequence to the
application.  Perhaps your application detects a delete key and exits?
