Hello. I recently installed BASH on a number of our machines at this site, 
everyone loves it. 

Just one problem: Occasionally the shell seems to get into a mode where it
does not do a newline when you press enter, also keypresses are not echoed to
the user's terminal..

I've found two ways to trigger this condition: hitting and holding down the 
DEL (interrupt) key, and/or exiting from a screen based app such as ELM..

If anyone knows of a fix for this please let me know since its seriously
hampering ELM's usability as our main shell..


Another bug which is also quite confusing/frustrating is that ELM spews
getcwd: cannot find parent errors every now and again which seem to foul
up shell scripts..


I'd appreciate any help people could give on this matter. Thank you.
