Mac OS X / Emacs 23.2.93; help needed with term window behaviour

Subject: Mac OS X / Emacs 23.2.93; help needed with term window behaviour

Hello, emacs Gurus!
This is something that has been an occasional annoyance while using term-mode shells within emacs.
 Now I think I finally know at least the circumstances under which the problem occurs.. I'd appreciate your help in resolving this :)





When I execute commands like 'ifconfig' from within a 'term-mode' bash session,
 emacs rings the error bell and the text and cursor-position in the term window get mixed up.
Below is the info from the emacs bug-reporter tool.


On the other hand printing "\t" (printf "\t" or echo -e "a\tb") does not seem to cause any problems whatsoever.

In addition to the steps outlined in the pseudo bug-report below,
 + I have tried removing /etc/bashrc and $HOME/.bashrc to see if my customisations there were the root cause.
 But I still see the problem within 'emacs -Q' with these files out of the picture.

Why does emacs/term appear to be trying to 'interpret' the TABs in the o/p (looks like it tries to do file-name autocompletion on something?)
 Any clues on what I could try next?

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list
and the gnu.emacs.bug news group, and at http://debbugs.gnu.org.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

      1. launch emacs: "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q"

      2. start a bash shell within emacs: M-x term RET RET (/bin/bash is offered as default shell in my setup)

      3. type a command like ifconfig
1) now, shell gets messed up:

   + an "error in process filter: cd-absolute: /Users/li/: no such directory" message is displayed

   + the current-line/cursor gets thrown backwards so that 'ifconfig' o/p and current-line in term are overlapping

2) need to execute 'clear' (C-l) or 'reset' in shell to make things usable again
      4. In case 'ifconfig' does not reproduce the error, try to do execute "echo 'MY_SAMPLE_OUTPUT'" in a term buffer within emacs where MY_SAMPLE_OUTPUT is:

      5. lines like these: " inet9: " contain leading TAB characters. I believe those are the ones that cause the error to be triggered.
