 Another data point: I see same symptoms while working with gnuplot,
 which suggests bug in library rather than the shell itself.
 This library may be editline or termcap:
 
 /bin/sh:
        -lc.12 => /lib/libc.so.12
        -ltermcap.0 => /lib/libtermcap.so.0
        -ledit.3 => /lib/libedit.so.3
 /bin/ksh:
        -lc.12 => /lib/libc.so.12
 
 ksh works correctly here, and "sh +i" possibly avoids problematic functions.
