Hello I have encounter a possible bug with readline library. I am unable
to bind the Control-w (ascii 23) to any function. It appears to always
be bound to unix-word-rubout. This bug appears both in the stand-alone
library as well as various versions of bash since 2.04.

My .inputrc file contains other working lines except for;

Control-w: forward-word

Attempts to bind Control-x to forward-word works perfectly.

I have compiled and try this on Solaris 8/10 and Macosx 10.5. This can
be demonstrated by compiling the library and the "rl" example as well as
with the various native /bin/bash provided by the OS.

Look at the description of the `bind-tty-special-chars' readline variable.
