echo -e \\c or any other non-newline fails for zh_TW.Big5 bash

[Dan Jacobson <jidanni@dman.ddts.net>]

please paste a=zh_TW.Big5;LC_CTYPE=$a;echo -e saw $a\\c
into a xcinterm, xterm etc window and hit return.

z@debian:~$ a=zh_TW.Big5;LC_CTYPE=$a;echo -e saw $a\\c
z@debian:~$ g5

look at that, a "g5" is left on the command line. a carriage return
has covered up the rest.

now try
z@debian:~$ a=C;LC_CTYPE=$a;echo -e saw $a\\c
saw Cz@debian:~$ 

so C gives correct results. Anyway, I submitted a bash bug but they
think i am crazy so dont answer. please submit a bug for me.

p.s. i dont subscribe to gmane.linux.debian.user.chinese.big5 due do
spam, so CC me.
