Feature Change Request |

Hello!
I just upgraded from Linux-Mandrake 7.2 to 8.0 (Pentium-optimised
distribution, which uses their own cooked gcc).
This resulted in bash being "upgraded" from 2.0.4.12 to 2.0.4.18.
I notice a new "feature" that I really dislike (sorry): If the last line of
output from a program doesn't have a newline, bash overwrites it.
To illustrate my point, typing "echo -n Hello" in 2.0.4.12 gives (or
something similar -- I don't have bash 2.0.4.12 anymore):
Hello[root@tux350 /root]#
In 2.0.4.18:
[root@tux350 /root]#
This new "feature" (or bug :)) really ruins some of my programs as the last
line of output "disappears" just because I didn't append a newline to the
output (and sometimes because of the nature of the program, I don't want to
append a newline).
Please revert this behaviour back to that of 2.0.4.12 i.e. "Hello[root@tux350
/root]#" instead of "[root@tux350 /root]#".
Thanks,
pesarif
