numbers on keypad behave differently...

Hi.  We're getting a strange problem that we can't figure out.

We use rdesktop to access a W2003 server, on which an accounting program 
(MIP) is running.  There are many places where you need to enter dates, 
which are put into those access-type widgets with areas for month, date 
and year, all separated by "/" s.

When you use the regular numbers (above the qwerty, everything works 
normally.  If instead you turn on numlock and use the numeric keypad, 
things are different.  It seems like the input gets limited to a single 
character.  Let me explain with some examples:

As I type 14 in the day field, first the 1 shows up, but then is 
replaced by the 4 (so I get 4 instead of 14).

In the year field, as I type in "2013", I see "2002", "2000", "2001", 
and finally am left with "2003"

When we access from a Windows client, the numeric keypad behaves 
properly.  We're using rdesktop 1.6.0.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Ken
