[.] |So it turns out the problem is the histedit() function. |If it isn't called from within optschanged() then everything is fine. | |Now i've spend some hours trying to adjust that, but i've no idea |on sh(1) and libedit(3) internals, so i still don't understand the |problem, though i've found a getaround. [.] |The problem occurs when 'el' must be initialized. If that actually |happens (upon sh(1) startup), then it'll change handling of the high |bit (or say, i'm just fiddling around with german umlauts here). |I've split up histedit() in individual parts, i've used sleeps and |recursive calls and whatever, but it didn't help. |The only solution i've found is to call histedit() from within main() |again (or outsource the pure initialization code to histedit_init(), |but anyway call it once from within main()). [.] An update: i've compiled the shell again, linked against libedit as of today (master branch, 493ac26f0cdccc, [Add mvts(4) driver for internal thermal sensor.., 2012-08-18]), and the problem persists. (I'm still using 9.0-RELEASE#0, just in case it's even deeper than libedit.) --steffen
