Can you try the patch that's *now* in 960406?  It seems to help 
for me (but I really would rather not think too hard about this!).

readline used on FreeBSD was readline-4.3pl5; everything else: gcc 3.3.3, 
ncurses, libc were standard from 5.2.1.

The patch in #960406 doesn't help here.

The FC test system also has readline-4.3, if it helps, as
does the FreeBSD box. It apparently doesn't crash on OSX.

Hmm.  Doesn't crash on OS X.  Messes the terminal up good and 
proper, though.
