Patch Level: 24
Release Status: release
Description:
I've got a bug report of a python user which imports the readline
library for command line support. It apears that if terminfo
includes meta mode support (smm/rmm) the readline library send
ESC [ ? 1034 h
which cause problems if used in network environments.
Repeat-By:
Use XTerm at least version X.Org 6.8.99.903(236)
Fix:
Use the patch below for bind.c from the readline library to
be able to use
set meta-mode off
in /etc/inputrc
