Sorry! Hopefully Ronald will let us know what version of readline he  
used.

Now, in regards to the GDB issue: can anyone with the latest  
developer tools who also has the Universal Python build installed try  
to run python under gdb? (I have a different install of python 2.4.3  
that I don't want to nuke by installing the universal build just to  
test this; otherwise I wouldn't ask).
All you need to do is run
'gdb python'
and then type
'run'
and see if you get a python prompt, or
> Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
> 0x8fe0100c in __dyld__dyld_start ()

I think you'll get the latter because of how the Universal MacPython  
is a dummy application bundle that just does an execve to the real  
python. This is known to confuse at least some versions of gdb.  
Though, with any luck, the latest version of gdb that Apple shipped  
won't be confused in this way.
