Heh heh! I found a real bug!

Dedicated Rhide user and tester, I have found a serious bug in Rhide which
is 100% fatal all the time and is extremely easy to acciddentally invoke
and which is probably screwing over tens of thousands of people even as you
read this; but it should be easy enough to fix ;)

I have found that while pressing the backspace key in the middle of a tab
when you have real tabs enabled will cause rhide to crash. This is in dos,w
with nothing wierd loaded. My tabs are set to 3 if that helps. For instance:

(new file, crash.cc)

Type:
<tab>,<}>

Output:
   }

 ^
Position cursor here and press <backspace>

Please tell me this is helpful :) I want so desperately to be helpful, I
would be just crushed if this is a known bug.
