[lug] strange bash behavior

[Chip Atkinson]

Try typing in /bin/cat and see if the problem persistes.  If it does, 
try renaming all your .login type files such as .bash_profile, .login, 
.bashrc, .inputrc and see if the problem still happens.  You might also 
wish to check your terminal settings.  Another thing you could try is 
using script to see if there are any strange characters being sent.
