Martin Panter added the comment: Well it looks like you’ve identified that PgUp triggers a history search. Perhaps it would be good to look at your /home/shlomif/.python_history file, assuming there is nothing sensitive in there. The strace output only indicates it is 411 bytes and gives the first one-and-a-half lines. My guess is there is something funny about a line beginning with “r”, or a nearby line.
But it still sounds like a Readline bug instead of a Python bug. If you clear or remove the history file, does the bug go away? Maybe you can replace the equivalent ~/.bash_history or Perl history file to see if it triggers a crash there. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24958> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
