Unless I had perhaps installed the newer libedit on my system here,
but you're lucky, I haven't.

Checking on a NetBSD machine, they have the same problem.  Given you
have a fix for the problem, do you know what actually caused it to
manifest with the changes I brought in?  

I'll incorporate your change, or a modified version of it, later this
evening.

No problem.  Normally I don't have the time to read the GNATs database, so
thanks for bringing it to my attention. 8)
