(Get the code!)

It doesn't - it's just that readline is feeding our raw_input
characters that it shouldn't. You should run %hist -r (and %hist
without -r) to get a hint about what's happening.

changing the working directory).
It's certainly a very serious issue - unfortunately it's something we
probably can't easily get rid of, since we are blindly relying on the
hope that we get sensible input from the terminal.
