I suspect something funny is at work here in my Fujitsu SPARC world. I was going to rebuild readline again and give it a whirl. Tomorrow maybe. Or Monday. If you want access to a build box just drop me a line with a public key. I still have these great hulking Oracle Fujitsu boxes running and I suspect I will for years.
