If one thing is changing and it breaks something, it is very logical to
start the investigation there. I don't say that Bash is the fault,
because it could be that a correct change triggers a bug in another
application. But even if that is the case, it is stille the change in
Bash that could lead to the bug in the other application...

TI've tried to do some input including a return, but nothing happens.

Pretty small? That is an understatement :-).  I've compared a bash 4.1.9
with bash 4.2.0 -- where I noticed the bug -- and that gives me an
almost 8 megabyte differential :-) between both source packages...

A lot of the changes are in documentation, but without a repository, I
can only start from a diff. And that is a pretty huge starting point :-(.
