key 'm' not working

Ubuntu 8 box was rebooted and now when I press 'm' on the keyboard it is not shown on my display. This happens in bash, when I run ksh everything is normal.

I am connected through SSH using SecureCRT, my bash is:
BASH_VERSION='3.2.39(1)-release'

I don't remember touching any of my settings, environment etc... How can I troubleshoot the issue?

Can you do "ctl-v m" to type "m"? If yes, try:
Code:
bind 'm: self-insert'

it worked, thank you!
Any idea why this un-binding might happen?

Check your /etc/inputrc and ~/.inputrc. There is a wrong line there.
