Strange keyboard behavior depending on remote host

Hi all,
I have been using Xfree86/Cygwin to work on a remote FreeBSD host for some
weeks now, and I have been rather satisfied with it... until recently.
When I tried to start an X client from another host (AIX) I was rather
surprised to discover that my keyboard would not respond correctly in that
client under Xfree86. Most of the keys are completely ignored by the client.
Only figures, Ins, Del, Return and a few other 'special' keys actually work.
This behavior is independent of the X client. I chiefly tried with xterm but
all other X clients run on that host exhibit the same problem.
I am running cygwin 1.3.2, Xfree86 4.0.3 and Window Maker 0.65.0 (running
locally on cygwin).
Does someone have a clue of where the problem lies?
Thanks in advance.
Lionel
