comint: long lines truncated

`comint.el' versions since revision 1.14 of 2006/05/25 02:49:47 -0 unconditionally add `TERM=dumb' to environment of all processes they start. Programs using readline, including bash 3.1 with their bundled readline libraries, with this setting incorrectly truncate long input lines. This may be re

possible history bug?

discovered something interesting while using the bash shell. It seems to work with tcsh so perhaps its not a bash bug at all.. anyway.. the "history" service will not pick up commands which have a few spaces placed in front of them. eg: torproxy:~ # history | tail -5 63 cd 64 ls 65
