Try the readline-4.2a-1 package (along with libreadline5) which were 
just announced.  With that package, your bug.c program returns the 
correct results...

Also, you should no longer need to specify -DREADLINE_STATIC when 
compiling.  Just compile without that flag, and then link (dynamically, 
or statically using -static)

Note that this still won't fix the problem with static initializers and 
dynamic linking.  You must either link statically or initialize your 
variable inside main().
