Summary: segfault in readline
Initial Comment:
It's possible to produce segfaults using two functions
from the
readline module by giving them negative values (GNU
readline 4.3-10),
at least in some circumstances.
Python 2.5a0 (#10, Dec 15 2004, 19:53:33)
[GCC 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import readline
[25290 refs]
>>> readline.remove_history_item(-1)
Segmentation fault
>>> readline.replace_history_item(-1,'abc')
Segmentation fault
gdb reveals it happens because the (external)
remove_history and replace_history_entry don't return
NULL in these cases. I'm not sure whether we're
responsible for checking the sanity of inputs or the
GNU code should be returning NULL and isn't, but at
least sometimes it doesn't.

Hmm. I can't reproduce this (also with readline 4.3). Odd.
