[ILUG] odd behaviour in bash

[ILUG] odd behaviour in bash

Rob Gallagher robert at kerna.ie

Running bash 3.1.17.

The odd time, when I pass an argument to a command - say for example
editing a file in vi - the shell will prompt me for further input, as
if I'd put a semicolon after the first argument. Going back through the
history, it appears as if that's what bash thinks I did.

Anyone come across this before?
