bash 2 has a problem with initial locale setting which I only circumvented earlier.

The correct solution is this patch:
http://lists.debian.or.jp/debian-devel/200210/msg00047.html

symptoms are that in a newly started login shell bash, backspace works wrong, and if one starts another sub-bash *without* changing anything in that one, it suddenly worked.

bash 3 has fixed that already.
bash 2 ebuilds should incorperate this patch.

agriffis: care to add this patch or will bash-3 be marked stable soon?
