[ale] Open Suse and the .inputrc issues

[JD]

Those bugs were fixed in May of 2011.
Are people really running unpatched the last 2 years?

THAT cannot be the issue here.

I worry about being 3 months behind patching on a single system!

Sorta related, I switched to using powershell as my default shell on Windows -
got tired of the crap interface from cmd.exe. In the 90s, I used 4Dos and 4NT to
work around command.com and cmd.exe suckage. With powershell, I almost don't
mind ... except for all the things MS implemented in Explorer that appear to be
part of the file system, but are not.  Backwards compatibility is a bitch.
