24 I have come across that kind of behaviuour when I was playing with unicode
25 settings. It happened when I was using a unicode console with a non unicode
26 keymap. However, it only happened on accented characters (the ones composed
27 with a dead key of course, but also all the other ones !).

29 The thing I can tell you is that I have no such problem with bash-3.1_p16,
30 compiled with gcc-3.4.5-r1 and glibc 2.3.6-r3. All three of them have
31 the "nls" usflag enabled.

33 Are you sure there are not any app on your system that capture this specific
34 combination ?
35
36 What keymap are you using ?
