That's very easy to check -- just rename ~/.inputrc temporarily and see if
it fixes the problem.
It does sound like a readline configuration problem. What's the output of
bind -p | grep '^"s"'
on your system? What do you have in your ~/.inputrc? An alternative way
to provide readline configuration is by putting "bind" commands in
~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile, so check those as well.
