Bug#2265: bash `horizontal scroll' can't be turned off

[Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk>]

Package: bash
Version: 1.14.4-3

For some reason bash has decided to turn on its awful horizontal
scrolling feature, and I can't get it to turn it off.

I have in my .inputrc:
 set horizontal-scroll-mode Off
(and I have tried many variations).

strace shows that it is reading the file.  Experiment shows that it
ignores syntax errors in the file.

The manual says that the default is off and appears to be lying.

The system in question is using a librl.so.2.0.3 which doesn't appear
to come from any package.

Ian.
