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

Description:
The line wrap does not work properly after being near the end
of the screen.  Using the history function with up and down
causes it to overwrite the prompt.  Also, even though the command
was over a long line, it gets displayed as one line overwriting itself.
Note: I tried tcsh and it did not exhibit the same behavior.

Repeat-By:
1) Run bash
2) Hit enter until you are at the bottom of the screen
3) Type a command that is longer than the width of the terminal
4) Hit enter
5) Use up and down to browse the command history between that
     command and other commands.

Example:
    |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |
Initial:
bash> this is a really long line that ca
uses bash to malfunction

After hitting up:
ash to malfunctionong line that causes b

Note that the prompt is overwritten/ignored
and what should be on the second line is
on the first instead.
