Patch Level: 7

Description:
                i use vi editing-mode, and when i am in a certain directory
                (/home/matt/dev/drano/sdk/src/com/curious/sdk/translator/ast), 
if
                i hit escape followed by /, bash coredumps and dies. this also
                seems to happen in sibling directories (i.e. other subdirs of 
                translator), but it doesn't happen in translator.

                my prompt contains the full directory path, and so is quite 
long.
