Whoa! This is truly broken. You'll get an error on terminals
where kbs is longer than one character, e.g. 'dg460-ansi'.
And they shouldn't do this in /etc/bashrc, but in /etc/profile.

Is this code still present in current Fedora versions? If yes
somebody should tell RedHat to (re)move it.

Cheers,
  Michael.
