(libtinfo.so.5), and my old copy of Bash links the working one. That made
it look like something had changed in Bash to cause the breakage.
I wasn't able to find the source code for the working libtinfo, and there's
lots of conditional compilation in there, so I really can'
es shared libraries. The former uses
libncurses.so.5 _and_ libtinfo.so.5, while the latter uses only
libtinfo.so.6.
Still doesn't explain why this is a problem only for me, though.

t intelligence Bash uses to decide how to move the cursor
to the left in the absence of terminfo.

terminal sends q when I type it. Behavior is the same - q functions
as backspace, gets echoed as space. In Bash 4, it gets echoed as backspace.
I used 'script' to verify that the terminal is receiving an ASCII space
(0x20) character.
