bash does not support the '@' and '#' characters

[powah]

The bash does not support the '@' and '#' characters.
After I type the '#' character on bash, the cursor backspace one character.
After I type the '@' character on bash, the cursor goes back to the beginning of the input shell and the rest of input disappear.

e.g.
before I type the '#' character:
bash-2.05b$ ssh root

after I type the '#' character:
bash-2.05b$ ssh roo

before I type the '@' character:
bash-2.05b$ ssh root

after I type the '@' character:
bash-2.05b$

How are you logged in to the system? Telnet? SSH? Directly on the system console? Xterm?

What keyboard layout are you using?
