Summary: Shjft+Enter crashes GHCI

Initial Comment:
I have a P4 machine running GNU/Linux RedHat 8.0 and
installed ghc using the rpm package: ghc-5.04.2-1.i386.rpm.

Every time I type Shift+Enter in Prelude, the process
gets killed.

Is this a bug, or is my machine broken?

We are unable to repeat, and this bug is not likely to be 
caused by GHC, so I'm closing it.

Just tested it on my box running RH 8.0 w/ en_US locale and
it seems to work fine.

If it's related to X, you could try the X util "xev" to see
what events X is seeing on Shift+Enter.  Go to the test
window, enter the keys, and see what X reports.  On my
system, the shift key doesn't seem to effect X at all.

I just installed the same rpm in another machine and I get a
similar error.

I tryed using ghci in the console and the program does not
crash when I type shift+enter. This might be related with X
and the portuguese keyboard...

Hope this will give more hints on the subject.

Does anyone else have a RedHat 8.0 machine to test this 
on?  Anyone have any idea what Shift+Enter is supposed to 
do?

As you've probably guessed, we are clueless :-)
