 ----
 This patch fixes a tiny bug in the command line editing of the RTEMS
 shell.
 Typing CTRL-U in the shell should remove all characters left of the
 cursor.
 After pressing CTRL-U, the current implementation does wrongly place the
 cursor
 at the end of the line instead at its beginning.

 To reproduce the bug, start the shell and type 'abc123' (no <RETURN>):

 SHLL [/] # abc123
 }}}

 Then move the cursor onto the '1' by hitting three times the <ARROW-LEFT>
 key.
 Next type <CTRL>-U:

 {{{
 SHLL [/] # 123
 }}}

 Note that the cursor is at the end of the line (after '3') instead of
 correctly
 at the beginning (on the '1'), now.

 Continuing typing 'echo ' incorrectly results in the output:

 {{{
 SHLL [/] # 123echo 123
 }}}

 The patch changes this behavior so that the cursor in the second last step
 will
 be on the '1' and typing 'echo ' will then correctly reflected as:

 {{{
 SHLL [/] # echo 123
 }}}
