	Dear friends,

	something really strange happens in BASH when I steadily press the left arrow to move the cursor to the start of the command line ( when editing a previously entered command ). A series of '[D' characters pairs appears, destroying the original contents of my command line. Why does this happen ? What can I do to stop it from happening ?
