Anonymous message posted by costa at mouldwarp.com

The buggy scenario is as follows:

$ rm -R a_read_only_dir<TAB>/<ENTER>
override r-xr-xr-x  user/user for a_read_only_dir? <CTRL-C>^C
$ # local echo is gone, that is, keyboard input ceases to print

I'm pretty sure both completion and rm do something with the terminal (sending escape codes), and here together they fail.

Although minor, pretty annoying - breaks backward compatibility. Found on Darwin.
