I guess you are using a vt100 compatible terminal, not running the
X11 version. I also suspect that it's a timeout problem (arrow keys
are sent as escape sequences (as you surely know)). If you intended
to use the X11 version, you might have forgotten to "xhost
+your_host".

Have you tried "M-x view-lossage" to view the last keys that arrived
in emacs?
