Ok, I will take a look.

Yes, I am not 100% happy with the workaround. There are three
scenarios:
(a) bash is linked statically against libreadline - we are in the
clear, no trouble
(b) bash is dynamically linked against some oddly patched readline
and dev packages, i.e. headlers are installed - copy over headers and
lib and be done
(c) bash is dynamically linked against some oddly patched readline
and no dev packages are installed - build readline, overwrite
libreadline.so with the system one
(c) is dirty and can cause trouble down the road, i.e. mysterious
segfaults. And this is also the default setup for OpenSUSE 11.1. I
have an spkg that does (a) and (c), but not (b) yet, so if at all
possible I would want to wait for 3.3 to sort this out.
One alternative fix would be to build bash from sources and link it
statically all the way, but that has its own set of shortcomings. On
the other hand it would spare us the often system bash, so I can see
the good here, but this is longer term.
Another alternative would be to build termcap or curses before
readline, but I am not 100% sure how the bash.rpm on OpenSUSE is build
to nail the problem down.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Michael
