Apparently!

I've seen several threads on this list about similar problems, some of
which seemed to affect only specific readline-aware applications (e.g.
gnupg) and not others.  Which makes me curious about the specific
types of entries which could have such an effect when altered by the
insertion of a CR. My own .inputrc has never gotten more complicated
than "set editing-mode vi", so I'm admittedly pretty ignorant of the
general realm of inputrc parameters, but seeing an example of one of
the offending files might be educational.
