On 28-May-1999 libreadline was upgraded from readline-2.2 to
readline-4.0.  At that time the shared library major version number was
bumped from "3" to "4".  It has been deemed that the interface change
between readline-2.2 and readline-4.0 was not suffient to warrant the
version number bump.

Thus I have reverted it back to "3".  You will need to perform the below
immediately before your next ``make world'':

    cd /usr/lib
    ls -l libreadline.so.4
        (if you have /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4)
    mv libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.3
    rm -f libreadline.so
    ln -s libreadline.so.3 libreadline.so
