Comment (by emassop):
Okay, now I can crash Sage by typing some random text and then tapping the
up-arrow a number of times. This is a known Readline 6.3 bug, reported
[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2014-03/msg00010.html
here], and fixed
[ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-6.3-patches/readline63-002 here]. I
would like to get Readline at a higher patch-level, at least version
6.3.002.
Automatically generated tarballs are available from
[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/readline.git/log/]. However I am unsure
if the checksums are always the same. Moreover the top-level directory in
those tarballs have a name that Sage doesn't like for renaming to src.
Should I upload a tarball with a renamed top-level directory somewhere? Or
should I add (some of) the patches from
ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-6.3-patches/ in git and apply them
from spkg_install?
