In Bash 4.1 downloaded and patched from the case.edu Bash site, when I do bind -v I see "set blink-matching-paren on" (and have non-working paren matching) without having changed any compile-time settings and with no corresponding command in any startup files.
So I don't know how it got (half) enabled.
