Could it be that you have changed your filesystem to binary mode?
Probably your .bashrc has CRs in it which force the cursor to the
beginning of the line. Create a new .bashrc with:
cat >~/.bashrc
echo Hello
[CTRL-D or CTRL-Z]
and then edit it. Any half-decent text editor will recognize that it is
a Unix text file (i.e. without CRs) and keep it in that format.
