It looks like it to me. It seems to disappear if you build Box without 
editline support. Also I tested the editline example program "fileman" 
(from libedit-20070831-2.10.tar.gz) and I coulnd't enter any special 
characters with AltGr (e.g. AltGr+a), whereas I can in "cat" and in a 
readline-enabled bash.

Cheers, Chris.
