... to no avail ... still crashes the same way.

No, it doesn't (I built the 2.0.0 the same way as the 1.6.3 - and all the
others).
Running the 2.0.0 client inside gdb yields: (I installed libreadline6-dbg
before testing)

Maybe this provides a hint?!
And here's another interesting datapoint: Since I use BIRD to replace the
dreadful Quagga-derivate Ubiquiti delivers with their EdgeRouters I compiled
BIRD-2.0.0 for the MIPS platform and there it does not exhibit the observed
behavior!
Same libreadline version, though:
csch# ldd ./birdc-2.0.0
librt.so.1 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x77118000)
libhistory.so.6 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libhistory.so.6 (0x770ff000)
libreadline.so.6 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libreadline.so.6 (0x770b5000)
libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 (0x77087000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x7705c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x76ee1000)
/lib/ld.so.1 (0x77136000)
Maybe I should download the src for libreadline6 to look at history.c, line 185
;-)
