>Description:
The shells/bash2 port is broken on -CURRENT.
To be precise, it was broken by the import of GNU Readline 5.0
in src/contrib and the addition of the 'timestamp' member to the
HIST_ENTRY structure.
The brokenness manifests itself in coredumps (see How-To-Repeat section.)
>How-To-Repeat:
At the shell prompt, type a command that spans multiple lines, like
$ echo '
'
Then bring back the previous line using ^P and press enter.
>Fix:
To fix the particular coredump mentioned above, rebuild the port as
follows: do 'make extract', then
cp /usr/include/readline/history.h ./work/bash-2.05b/lib/readline/.
and then continue the make.
Obviously this is not a real fix that would give a person a warm, fuzzy
feeling.
