This is probably caused by the not so recent breakage of libedit. I now understand why I didn't see as many problems as des for single-user shells: I have /etc/malloc.conf -> aj, and this prevents detection of the breakage. With the default malloc options, "set -E" in /bin/sh always dumps core if $TERM doesn't exist. $TERM never exists for single-user-shells if /usr is a separate filesystem.
