Comment:
Running from gdb, I saw it crashing always in libcurses.
Disabling package terminfo by editing `libraries/terminfo/configure.ac` to
contain impossible library names (`no-*`)
for `curses`
{{{
AC_CHECK_LIB(no-ncursesw, setupterm, HaveLibCurses=YES;
LibCurses=ncursesw,
AC_CHECK_LIB(no-ncurses, setupterm, HaveLibCurses=YES;
LibCurses=ncurses,
AC_CHECK_LIB(no-curses, setupterm, HaveLibCurses=YES;
LibCurses=curses,
HaveLibCurses=NO; LibCurses=not-installed)))
}}}
in ghc-6.10.4 gives me a GHCi that now segfaults at start-up
only occasionally (instead of always, as before).
And if it doesn't segfault, it appears to work, and even has command-line
editing.
(Silightly less than half the starts segfault, in over 50 attempts.)
