/etc/inputrc set emacs mode regardless of mode

A quick fix is:

$if mode == emacs
  "\e0d": backward-word
  "\e0c": forward-word
  "\e[h": beginning-of-line
  "\e[f": end-of-line
  "\e[1~": beginning-of-line
  "\e[4~": end-of-line
  "\e[5~": beginning-of-history
  "\e[6~": end-of-history
  "\e[3~": delete-char
  "\e[2~": quoted-insert
$endif

If you set your login shell (bash_profile) to set set -o vi, it prevents
all command history.

This is broken is 6.0 and is fairly well documented /etc/inputrc, and
redhat is getting abuse for it
