Has anyone noticed that ctrl-c randomly stops working in the new bash?
You might also consider taking this opportunity to switch to ZSH.
I've just installed it, then I read this .. and it's a deal breaker:
Q: Does zsh support UTF-8?
A: zsh's built-in printf command supports "\u" and "\U" escapes to output arbitrary Unicode characters. ZLE (the Zsh Line Editor) has no concept of character encodings, and is confused by multi-octet encodings. Try it, though. I'm Brazilian and I use some UTF-8 multibyte characters (a small subset of it comparing with the Cyrillic alphabet, which I presume you use) and I have no problems with files named with UTF-8 characters.
When I first tried ZSH, I ditched it because of it, but it's been a long time since UTF-8 characters are working out of the box.
