Summary: GNU readline 4.2 prompt issue

Initial Comment:
When Python is linked with GNU readline 4.2, using
raw_input() without a prompt causes the most recent
non-empty prompt to be used. GNU readline 4.1 and
before don't have this behavior. I don't want it,  but
I don't know how to disable it (I am passing an empty
string for the prompt to readline()).

Me neither, but then I've got GNU readline 4.3 here, not
4.2, and I'm to lazy to try to reproduce it.

Assuming that you actually tested with 4.2, just close it.

I can't reproduce this.

(looking at old open readline bugs -- me?)
