Bash keeps reloading default bind key settings

[Jimi]

Hi all,

Strange condition that i can't find the solution to.

My bash  for RH 3.4.6, is 3.00.15(1)


I have a .inputrc file with some settings like
"\C-w": kill-region
"\M-u": upcase-word


The \C-w bind is different than the default ( which is to unix-word-
rubout  )

I can change this by doing a
bind -f .inputrc but it doesn't keep the value.

What I mean is that it temporarily changes the value, but then changes
it back to default.

The way I verify this is as follows:

bind -f .inputrc '"\C-w":kill-region' && bind -p | grep "kill-region"
"\C-w": kill-region

But if I do

bind -f .inputrc
sleep 3
bind -p | grep "kill-region"

I get
# kill-region (not bound)

Even the commands bind -u  unix-word-rubout   don't work either for
more than a split second.


Any idea what is causing this immediate reloading all of the time ?

Thanks for any suggestions.
