Uh oh, I have this, too, on my laptop. I noticed it several days ago, but promptly forgot about it when I moved on to do something else. In my case, I was trying to do something interactively with guile -- you can imagine how impossible that is without '(' :-) $ uname -a FreeBSD ophelia.nectar.com 4.3-BETA FreeBSD 4.3-BETA #3: Sun Mar 18 19:13:38 CST 2001 root@ophelia.nectar.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/OPHELIA i386 $ echo '(no problem with parens here)' (no problem with parens here) $ cat Hell Hell $ With the `cat', I actually typed `Hello(\n'. $ stty -a speed 38400 baud; 24 rows; 80 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe echok echoke -echonl echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho pendin -nokerninfo -extproc iflags: -istrip icrnl -inlcr -igncr ixon -ixoff -ixany imaxbel -ignbrk brkint -inpck ignpar -parmrk oflags: opost onlcr -ocrnl -oxtabs -onocr -onlret cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd -hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -dsrflow -dtrflow -mdmbuf cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = ; eol2 = ; erase = ^H; erase2 = (; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ^G; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; Hmm, somewhere erase2 is getting set to the left paren. This is happening with xterm and rxvt, but not on the console. I can't reproduce it on my desktop, which is running the same version of FreeBSD and XFree86. I guess now that I'm aware of it again I'll try to figure out what is going on. Hints welcome.
