Hi,
after an upgrade of my system (debian/testing, previous update at
June 2003) I found a strange behaviour in the bash: anytime I type the
slash character, I get a beep (more precisely a visual bell), but no '/'.
I suppose, this is a problem related to the configuration of the Bash
(libreadline?), because I get this error only in the bash (both in the
login shell and in an X terminal), but not in any other application,
including the tcsh.
I get this behaviour for every user on the system (including root).
Since I can't figure out which mistake I've done, I'm asking for help
here, hoping that someone can help me.
Here some settings which could be of interest:
