bash command line - can not type "c" char (not echoed)

[JB]

Hi,

this happens both in console and gnome xterm.
No problem when change from bash prompt to sh subshell.
There are packages, no ports on my system.

$ uname -r
8.1-RELEASE
$ env |grep -i shell
SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
$ ls /var/db/pkg/bash-4.1.7/
No readline lib present.
