Bug 115326 – readline-5.1 crashes python shell

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2005-12-12 10:39:08 UTC]

funnily enough vim and bash didn't seem to be affected all that much, only
python-2.4.2 interactive shell.  Going back down to 5.0-r2 of readline solved
the issue.

even pressing just delete twice and nothing else seems to make it bomb
