Most likely you are running on (or ssh'ed into) a FreeBSD or NetBSD
machine.  When so, use -K as a workaround for now.

Anyway, the problem is this line:

  controlshiftdelete = get_keycode("kDC6", KEY_BACKSPACE);

from commit e6429e78.  When the system doesn't know the Ctrl+Shift+Delete
combination, it will bind KEY_BACKSPACE to cutwordleft.  :|  The line
should use something else as the fallback key code, something special,
just like the other special combinations.
