Do you have the same problem with ", `, ^? If so then you have dead keys
enabled. These are so that you can get accented chars easily, eg. 'e
would give you e with an accent like /. I'm not sure how to change your
keyboard settings... you can try looking running 'locale' se what it
tells you and possibly recompiling glibc. You can always manualy set
those env vars mentioned in locale to POSIX or en_US or something first
though and see if that works.
