Phew! I was expecting more of "I couldn't get it to work". Congratulations ;)

Yes, that is expected behavior. You probably want to try it under VI or similar.
That is where you can test it. On the shell prompt, what you are expecting is
probably not the 'desired' behavior, but it is 'expected'.

Did you get it working on Debian only or RedHat too? Did you compile from the
source or use the .deb package? I'm curious now.

$ tar jxvf file.tar.bz2
