Or gnome-terminal, or aterm, or konsole, or wterm, or xvt.  It works in the 
linux console, and with an out of box xterm, both of which default to 
emitting '^H' from the backspace key unless configured otherwise, at which 
point, cone breaks there too.

Do I need to set any environment variables?

"stty -a" output for most terminals:

[snip]
	intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = 
<undef>; swtch = <undef>;
[/snip]


output for xterm (which uses '^H' incorrectly):

[snip]
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = 
<undef>; swtch = <undef>;
[/snip]
