Just in case this bug has not already been reported ...
The start_insert function in readline/readline.c
is broken for terminal descriptors that support
both im (insert mode) and IC/ic (insert characters)
(such as Xterm) - the function inserts extra
spaces AS WELL as entering insert mode.
This trivial fix seems to work.
