This is a bash 2.05b bug. I sent the bash maintainers this
bug report about it on May 15 (I suspect that others
reported it before I did, but I don't know for certain
whether that's true):
The bash CHANGES file includes this change for 2.05b:
b. Note that we're running under Emacs and disable line editing if
$EMACS == `t'.
And, indeed, examination of the bash source code confirms this
behavior.
The problem with this change is that with it in place, if I type
"xterm &" from an Emacs shell window, the shell in the xterm window
that starts up has command-line editing disabled. Ugh.
Suggestion: Only disable command-line editing if EMACS is set to 't'
*and* TERM is set to "dumb", which is what Emacs sets it to.
