Comment (by judah):
Do you reproduce the bug by opening up an xterm, and then typing 'ghci'?
If so, what happens when you type "stty -a" in the xterm? Alternately, if
you start ghci in such a way as to reproduce the bug, what happens when
you run the following commands from inside ghci:
{{{
System.IO.hIsTerminalDevice System.IO.stdin
System.IO.hIsTerminalDevice System.IO.stdout
System.Environment.getEnv "TERM"
}}}
Finally: what version of libedit are you building against?
I suspect that some part of your xterm configuration is not set quite
right, causing libedit to think that it's not inside a terminal. But it's
strange that readline (used in ghc-6.8.2) isn't affected.
