Possible problem with term types?

Possible problem with term types?

[Thomas D. Ward]

Hello, list. 
For a couple of versions of Red Hat now I've noticed a problem I've not 
been able to nail down the problem. When a sub shell such as screen, su, etc 
are launched speak up and even yasr want to read the bash prompt every 
single time a key is pressed. 
However, when I switched my shell from bash to csh this problem completely 
vanished. Is this a general bash problem or does Red Hat have some problem 
handling term types when sub shells like screen are launched?
If anyone has a fix for bash working properly in screen please let me 
know. Otherwise I'll just have to stay with csh which seams to work fine.

This sort of behavior occur with RH 9?  I know it did with 8.0 and
never really figured out why it did.
This also happens with Mandrake systems I've found as well so its not
strictly in RH.
I've only really used one mandrake system so I can't exactly say which
version it was either.
Was quite some time ago.  Maybe over a year ago.

Yes, that is correct. it does happen on Mandrake as well.
I've not installed speakup on any Mandrake systems, but yasr has an 
identical problem on Mandrake Linux as with Red Hat.

Hi,

     The problem is caused by the Unicode support introduced in RH8.0.  If 
you look in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, you'll probably find a statement like: 
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
You can copy the file to your home directory as .i18n, note the leading 
dot.  You can then edit the line to read: LANG="en_US"
If you want the original Unix sorting rules found in RH before 7X, say: 
LANG="C"

          HTH.
