Hi all, I'm having some problems with readline on FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.0 - my lowercas= e 'x' has mysteriously disappeared (meaning it doesn't get read by readline= ). I run bash, mysql client and a couple other sundry utils that use readli= ne, and they all exhibit this problem (and I discovered turning off readlin= e use in bash with --noediting solves the problem - but readline is otherwi= se kinda handy and I'd like to keep it if I can make it work). I first noti= ced this when I went to portupgrade to the 11-10-05 dated readline port in = ports - the first shell I opened up after the portupgrade completed exhibit= ed this problem, as have all bash shells since (without readline disabled).= Since then I haven't been able to shake it. I tried to back down the port = to the prior version, I tried updating and rebuilding userland (am I right = in thinking userland has a copy of readline all its own? Seems that way fro= m what `find` says), manually linking to the older readline edition...I eve= n went ahead with the upgrade to 6.0 as a desperation move, but nothing's c= hanged. Shells and terminals aren't really my strong point so I'm pretty mu= ch out of ideas to try now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bryan
