Sounds like the new OS utilities versions are shifting your terminal into (or out of) application mode from terminal mode. The mode change changes the key codes generated by function keys and arrow keys as well as insert, delete, home, end, pageup, pagedown, etc. Try adding a "tput init" or "tput reset" into the startup script for you application.
