This is not unexpected; there are data structures like keymaps that
readline allocates once the first time it is called and expects to
persist through all calls to readline() by a particular application.
What does a memory allocation profiler like valgrind say about where
the blocks were allocated and whether or not the library retains
pointers to those blocks?
