Stupid MORE breaks on a rubout key when it should not

My experience with noisy lines is that framing errors are much more
common that any single character (like rubout).  Since the dh and
dz drivers both turn framing errors into the current interrupt
character, it doesn't matter what you set it to--you'll still get
interrupts on a noisy line.  And since more runs in CBREAK mode,
the interrupt character terminates the program. 

It's also true that more treats a rubout in response to its prompt
the same way it treats a q.  It probably should check for your
current interrupt character instead of assuming the default rubout.
