I'm having a rather curious problem and wondered if anyone had some input:

I can set -o vi at the bash prompt and will get correct functioning 
of the shell, shell editor environment, and history viewing/editing (as 
per the vi-like shell editing option).

Further, I can add set -o vi to my .bashrc and manually source the 
config file (. .bashrc) and will also get correct shell behaviour.

However, if I leave that set -o vi in the rc file, log out and log 
back in, I lose my history viewing/editing capability.

A diff of the output from set, set -o, and env under each shell 
configuration doesn't turn up any obvious culprits. Last, $HISTCMD, 
$HISTFILE, $HISTFILESIZE, $HISTSIZE all exist under both configurations -- 
and problems there would have should up in comparative diffs of the env 
output in each shell.

I get the same behaviour with the rhcn bash-2 rpm.

Any suggestions?
