Sure.  I'm attaching an strace for 'bash --rcfile /dev/null'; the
character pressed was a space.  This affects most programs, btw (vi from a
command prompt, for example, and tcsh), but not sh, cat or less.  My guess
is that anything that uses readline is affected.  I'm running Win2k SP2,
if it makes any difference.

Thanks, I'll try it out and let you know if it works for me.

I see.  Well, anyway, I sent an strace for that one, hopefully someone can
figure out what's going on.
