Re: bash segmentation fault under rxvt

Okay, more info on this issue.  A clean source tree from setup builds
perfectly.  When run under gdb the stack trace looks like:

(gdb) where
#0  0x0045bfb7 in _rl_dispatch_subseq (key=256, map=0xa01a468, got_subseq=0)
    at readline.c:529
#1  0x0045bfac in _rl_dispatch (key=256, map=0xa01a468) at readline.c:529
#2  0x0045c094 in _rl_dispatch_subseq (key=256, map=0xa01a468, got_subseq=0)
    at readline.c:570
#3  0x0045bfac in _rl_dispatch (key=256, map=0xa01a468) at readline.c:529
#4  0x0045c094 in _rl_dispatch_subseq (key=256, map=0xa01a468, got_subseq=0)
    at readline.c:570
[...thousands more...]

It appears to be an infinite recursion (I stopped the stack trace
listing at frame 8693).  The locals are:

    (gdb) info locals
    key = 256
    map = 0xa01a468
    r = 0
    newkey = 256
    macro = 0xa01a468 ""
    func = (rl_command_func_t *) 0xa01a468
    (gdb) p map[key]
    $1 = {type = 0 '\000', function = 0x466b08 <rl_do_lowercase_version>}

And the infinite recursion occurs because of this code:

569:	  if (func == rl_do_lowercase_version)
	    return (_rl_dispatch (_rl_to_lower (key), map));

Apparently the cpp macro _rl_to_lower(key) returns key unaltered
(presumeably because _rl_uppercase_p(256) is not true).

I'm at the end of my rope here.  Suggestions?

Thanks,
