Is the 'echo' attribute on, 'echo', or > off, '-echo'? I have the same symptoms as walt (except less often, probably because I'm typing in bash less often). The echo attribute is on for me. I think (but am not certain) the problem started for me when I updated bash and readline following this stabilization: In case it matters (and since I am using USE="-*"), here are my flags for those two packages. bash: nls readline -afs -bashlogger -examples -mem-scramble -net -plugins -vanilla sys-libs/readline: -static-libs ABI_MIPS="-n32 -n64 -o32" ABI_PPC="-32 -64" ABI_S390="-32 -64" ABI_X86="64 -32 -x32"
