Really weird Linux behavior.

I have no idea of the cause or remedy for this problem, but it certainly is a pain. I have two boxes running Debian GNU/Linux that are set up solely as SSH gateways. They use RSA token authentication. So far, so good. Now the weird part - I am unable to enter a capital letter c in the shell while connected to the boxes. If I cut and paste a string with a C in it the C gets stripped out, e.g. pasting Chris would result in hris showing up in the shell. If I launch vi or another editor I can paste the letter C or type it.

Any ideas?

Update: The problem seems to spring from having the following set in .bashrc

bind "set completion-ignore-case on"
