The bug is in Peter's input patches.  It checks wether the character returned
by ingetc() is negative or not.  If it is negative, it thinks that it is an
error.  This only happens when history expansion is active, so single quotes
or the nobanghist option prevents this bug.  It can be fixed by some explicit
casts from signed  to unsigned characters, but I do not have time do play with
that now (it is very trivial to fix, but we shold be carefull not to break
comparison line c == HISTSPACE etc.)
