I've had this problem also on DragonFly and applyed a workaround patch [1], but I don't know this is right way.

Reproducible: Always

I believe the above patch do the right work.

Please apply the patch (but not __DragonFly__, use __FreeBSD__)

or PLEASE mask this version! libedit is dependency required by freebsd-bin, which is gentoo/freebsd system package!

ah yes, we need the patch too. See this page for the fix. Same bug was solved with the same patch.
