What is causing this behavior and how can I eliminate it?

I am running Mac OS X 10.4.7. I have two systems, a PowerMac and an
iBook. I've just recently discovered that I can no longer type square
brackets "[]" in the Terminal application when I'm at the BASH prompt.
If I run something like the Python interpreter I can type brackets.
Once I go back to BASH brackets are again refused. Attempts to copy and
paste do not work. The left bracket gets stripped from the paste operation.

It also doesn't appear to be able to copy files with both ACLs and
resource forks. It appears to only work if you have one or the
other. At least that was the last time I checked.
That's not true. rsync copies all EAs, of which ACLs are simply examples of.
I haven't studied copyfile.c for hours, but the limited attention
I've given it tells me that ACLs do indeed receive some special
addition, they're not merely blindly copied just like other EAs. For
copying files directly, copyfile_security() actually loops over the
ACEs in an ACL and only copies noninherited ones. When archiving in
AppleDouble files (this is the path used by rsync I think), ACLs are
packed in copyfile_pack_acl(). Also when unpacking the AppleDouble
files, ACLs get extra treatment. So it's not entirely unplausible to
me that there's still bugs lurking in copyfile().
