Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release

Description:
        i dont know if the bug is a bash bug or openssl or echo, but when i 
echo a string and pipe it to openssl, the 
output comes on the same line as the prompt instead of a new line. it makes the 
output hard to read because it is prepended 
to the prompt text, e.g. mySecretPasswordtcadmin@buildserver: ~$

Repeat-By:
        1. run the following code in bash terminal:
echo OHBjcWNLNGlQaVF5 | openssl base64 -d

        2. the output in the bash terminal looks like this:
mySecretPasswordtcadmin@buildserver: ~$

        3. the output SHOULD look like this:
mySecretPassword
tcadmin@buildserver: ~$
