That's your locale settings.

Plenty of other programs change their sort order if your locale is not
C, for example, maybe you have it set to en_US or some whatever is
common in Canada.

Hmmm... I'm not sure I don't agree with bash's behavior here.  After
all, you are redefining what ^P is used for.

It seems bash would have to become context sensitive about when a key
sequence is used to get around this.  Not sure that would be a good idea
or not.

Of course, bash is not exactly the most well written shell out there.
Every benchmark it against others before?

Oh, and what is suspc?  I don't see that in the stty settings on my
Linux box.  Just susp and dsusp.
