in bash and bash only \ can't be typed (it doesn't show at all).
This happens in console or xterm.
vi, mc and other "console" programs works.
even
cat > testfile
\\\
ctl-D
works
but eg.
I can't type:
find ./ -type d chmod 770 {} \;
because when I type \ it doesn't show off.
But this works:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ strace bash &>test
echo "\\"
ls
exit
that means... I see the \ when I type them.
It could be related to a strange behaviour of mc too since mc "pipe"
input into bash.
I've reported it here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428993
bash strace included.
