Hi,
bash-3.2 on Solaris is suffering from the following bug:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3743
(bash hangs sometimes when navigating with the arrow keys)
I tried both 3.2.25 present in latest OpenSolaris as well
as custom built 3.2.48 - reproduced in both. It affects
all UTF-8 locales (multibyte mode).
It can be fixed by backporting (with minor modifications)
some code from bash-4.0 - patch is at the end of this message.
I'd like to ask for a review and then, perhaps, acceptance
as an official bash-3.2 patch.
Thanks and regards,
hnhn
