This is the classic symptom of running the somewhat-buggy bash-2.0 in bo.
I would suggest upgrading to hamm to get around this. There is a bo
version of bash-2.05 around which provides a workaround, but you have to
be very careful when you do upgrade to hamm if you have that version
installed (I found out the hard way).
