Bug 83331

1. With bash, log into text mode or open a terminal program.

 [Because I don't know whether bugzilla accepts special characters, I try to
describe the problem in words.] 

2. At the command-prompt, enter # followed by two special characters (e.g. two
times the "cent symbol" or the "Euro symbol" or other non-ASCII characters, e.g.
from "man iso_8859_1"). Hit return, regardless of whether the input makes sense.

3. At the following prompt, input "echo" and hit return.

4. Press the CURSOR UP key two times to go back in the shell's history to the
command-line from 2). Then press CURSOR DOWN and see corruption. Press CURSOR UP
again, see more corruption.

Example (following the # should be two cent symbols, bugzilla probably doesn't
accept these, therefore I use two place-holders, replace them!):

$ #��XX              <-- replace XX with e.g. two times cent symbol 
$ echo
$
at this point press CURSOR UP two times, then CURSOR DOWN one time, then CURSOR
UP once more, then CURSOR DOWN once more, UP, DOWN, UP DOWN, and so on. You
should see a different level of corruption depending on whether you run bash in
text mode or gnome-terminal or konsole.

Needless to say, while this test-case may look weird, it is just stripped down
for reproduciblity. I stumbled upon this misbehaviour of bash history when I
renamed files which have German umlauts in their file names.

How reproducible:
Always
Reproducible in both text mode console and KDE/GNOME.
