Thanks for trying to reproduce it. I see this with an X.org xterm under Linux and a Linux virtual console, both through SSH (Openssh), and Putty in Windows, via Putty's SSH. To simplify things, I set my erase key to "q" (stty erase q). ctl-V q confirms terminal sends q when I type it. Behavior is the same - q functions as backspace, gets echoed as space. In Bash 4, it gets echoed as backspace. I used 'script' to verify that the terminal is receiving an ASCII space (0x20) character. -- Bryan Henderson San Jose, California
