set -o vi

[Paul Gilmartin <PaulGBoulder@xxxxxxx>]

(Damn! I clicked the wrong link in the confirmation notice.
Apologies.)

For some time now, on both Ubuntu and Cygwin, "set -o vi"
is ineffective.

The command is accepted and a query indicates it's in effect:

\! $ uname -a
Linux Linux-Mac 2.6.38-11-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 19:05:14 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
\! $ set -o vi
\! $ set -o
Current option settings
    ...
vi              on
emacs           off
    ...

But when I press ESC to enter command history, it simply
echoes the ESC as "^[" and calls the next command illegal:

\! $ ^[
dash:  not found

Thanks,
gil
