--- Comment #2 from Michal <michal.berger@intel.com> ---
Hit that as well. Logging in via serial (tty{,S}* or through getty in general)
may be indeed troublesome, for ssh there's still a silly workaround, e.g.

ssh -t foo@bar sh
$ LC_CTYPE= bash -l

though interestingly this affects bash only in interactive|login mode (so any
potential bash scripts that are doing some work shouldn't be affected) but what
seems to be indicative of what was mentioned on the forum (i.e. issue coming
from the readline). As:

$ bash -c 'read -rp 'oops: ' # this works
$ bash -c 'read -erp 'oops: ' # this doesn't

so, actually, scripts can be affected when they do use readline (but outside of
the  interactive context it would be quite uncommon I think). (In reply to
ralph from comment #0)
