Well, I just started using bash 1.04 on our Suns.  There seems to
be a problem with the line being updated when scrolling though the
history list or when editing a line.  The part of the line after
the cursor is not being cleared and/or updated properly.  A ^L
always produces the corrected line.  Sometimes the recalled line
is dropped on top of the prompt instead of after it.

I tried the patch to readline posted by Per Bothner but it didn't
solve the problem.  It might have improved things somewhat - it's
hard to tell.

If I use a vt100 on the same systems, bash works fine.  It only
messes up on the console.  Wait a sec.... just did another test -
the problem only exists when running Sunviews, not when running
on the console outside Sunview.  Maybe that helps to pin it down.

Has anyone else seen/reported this?  Is there a patch or workaround
(besides hitting ^L constantly 8-) )?

Sun OS 4.0.3 on both a Sun 3 and a Sun 4 was used.

Thanks for any help!
