I just re-tested and here's the result:

Mandrake 10, KDE 3.2 - OK
SuSE 9.1, KDE 3.3.2 - OK
SuSE 8.2, KDE 3.3.2 - FAILED
SuSE 9.0, KDE 3.3.2 - FAILED

I'm using bash.

On SuSE 8.2 & 9.0 (those failed), the problem exists
in a brand new konsole with 1 tab. If I use the bottom
left icon to open a new shell (tab) in the same
konsole window, the problem goes away.

Confusing, isn't it?

Regards
Kevin
