Comment(by leif):
''"My Gentoo Linux system"'' isn't very precise.
Note that (also Sage's) readline uses ''some'' termcap library, i.e. some
"arbitrary" equivalent installed / found on a user's system, which
apparently leads to improper output of control sequences (intended to be
handled by the terminal) in some (mis-)configurations; cf. also
[http://mail.python.org/pipermail//new-bugs-
announce/2011-October/011990.html this Python bug report].
Unsetting `TERM` unfortunately doesn't ''"effectively disable readline"'',
but may trigger other bugs, like the one reported [comment:ticket:11970:25
here]. Using `TERM=unknown` (or `none`) or something like that instead
would perhaps avoid both.
