[ROOT] keyboard problems

Hello rooters of the world.

	I have a problem when running ROOT which may not be connected to
ROOT itself. It may be outside the scope of this list, but some of you may
have faced the same problem and I therefore post this message.
	I'm currently running ROOT 2.25/03 with RH 6.1 (Intel PC).
The problem I face from time to time is that the arrow keys stop working
the way they should. I.e. I am not able to get back to the previous
commands at the ROOT prompt using the arrow keys. The outputs I get when
pressing the arrow keys are simply the following capital letters:
up-arrow: A
down-arrow: B
right-arrow: C
left-arrow: D

When I exit my ROOT session and go back to the shell prompt the up and
down arrow keys work as they should. Also, when I inspect my .root_hist,
the commands from my ROOT session are there. So the commands are
"recorded" but cannot be recalled in the interactive session.

Does this seem familiar to anybody? Is this a configuration problem?

Regards
Jens Ivar
