Ironically, this is still one of the reasons I don't use Red Hat --
that, and the fact that they used to rebind 'esc' in /etc/inputrc to
somehow make vi not work.  "Oh, people actually _use_ that old thing?"

Yeah, they've theoretically had those fixed for years, I'm sure, but
it's been a tough stain for me to look past.  Few computer problems are
more painful than these kinds of problems.
