Just noticing that it also affects the dd command too.  That is,
nothing happens.

I'm not sure how many people actually use vi key bindings at the bash
command line.  If you do, and you have none of the above problems with
the 64-bit install, could you please chime in so that I know that
there is a solution (even though I may not know what that solution
is).

Thanks.
