    That can only be right if normal-erase-is-backspace-mode is
    a terminal-local variable.

normal-erase-is-backspace-mode is a function, not a variable.
And it seems to be designed to affect the current terminal only.

normal-erase-is-backspace is a customizable variable, and I can't find
anything to make it terminal-local.  So I think customizing it
probably has a bug.

I do not know any way to test Emacs with multiple terminals.
Can someone else please test the function and the variable?
Then please reply with a report.
