Comment:

 This ticket certainly illustrates why screwing with LD_PRELOAD /
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is considered bad practice for any nontrivial project. The
 imho only correct fix is to explicitly set the RPATH/RUNPATH in all of
 Sage's binaries, and not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. But then, thats for another
 ticket...

 As far as readline is concerned, I think the current state is a definite
 improvement. Since there is really no remaining issue that can be fixed
 easy, I give this a positive review so that we can go ahead with releasing
 Sage-4.6.1.
