I have the same problems sometimes (SunOS4, Bash 0.99). I havn't
figured out what I do to make it happen, but once it has started I
can't make it go away.

I have another problem which may be the same:

Sometimes when I enter a "for"-loop, I get no output.  Then I reenter
the command using the arrow-keys and it works as it should. The output
from the first loop does not show up (as it does in the other problem
above).
