Bash Version: 2.05b
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
 In the vi editing mode of the bash the command "X" (shift-x) is not
 working as expected.  Although the character in front of the cursor
 is deleted it is not yanked.

Repeat-By:
 1. Change to vi editing mode: 'set -o vi'
 2. Type "adsf".
 3. Change to command mode by pressing ESC.
 4. Move to the "s" and press 'X' (shift-x) to delete the "d".
 5. Now press 'p' to insert the deleted "d" after the "s".

 -> The "d" is not inserted.
           (If you use 'dh' instead of 'X' it works.)
