Summary: SegFault in interactive mode when cursor is over a non-ASCII

Initial Comment:
I'm running python2.3.3 as shipped with Mandrake 10.0 Official. Locale is 
ru_RU (KOI8-R). When running python in intercative mode (tested in 
KDE's Konsole and Xterm), I get SegFault each time I press almost any 
key while a cyrillic character is under cursor.

Say, I type:

>>> s = 'что за черт'

Then I move the cursor using arrow keys somewhere to the middle of 
the string. Now if I press a letter (no matter english or russian keymap 
being active) or backspace, or maybe other keys, the interpreter 
crashes. The arrow keys themselves are working without problems.

It doesn't happen if an ASCII character is under cursor.

libreadline4-4.3-7mdk

So it's 4.3

But if it were a readline bug, wouldn't it mean it should appear in other console 
applications? It doesn't, at least in shell.

Ask Mandrake.  Mandrake is rpm-based, right?  So

rpm -q readline

should work.

What version of readline?  I don't think this is going to be a Python 
bug.
