The escape (or -e) option for screen seems to break when set to "^Hh". Screen will interpret a backspace key as a command, instead of a backspace.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start screen in a terminal: "screen -e ^Hh".
2. Type "hello" in the terminal.
3. Press backspace a few times. Instead of erasing the text, screen says "No other window." because the backspace command in screen switches to the previous window.

This problem doesn't occur when escape is set to "^Aa", or when a different terminal is used (xterm and gnome-terminal tested).
