What version of bash? In my case:
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.04.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu)

You've posted this problem before and we've tried a couple of things
(keysyms, strace), without results. The problem is odd, I'd try at this
point:
- Check bash bug reports.
- Keyboard test. This appears to be related to the problem.
- Identify parameters of problem.
- Memory test. Possible but unlikely if bash is the only problem.
- Reinstall bash.
If the problem persists, file a bug report.

Does this happen when logging in as a regular user, as root, either?
Does /etc/nologin exist?
Check your .bash_profile and .bashrc files, as well as any /etc/bashrc
and /etc/profile files. You might try renaming these temporarily.
