Hey, as long as we're shifting the blame, let's shift it correctly ;-)

This actually seems to be a readline bug. Bash dies with a SIGSEGV
because of an infinite recursion in _rl_dispatch_subseq() in the readline
library. I've included a transcript of a gdb session below. The keys
pressed were '<Esc> O <space>'. I'm going to try to debug it tomorrow,
but if anyone more familiar with the readline library wants to take a shot
at it earlier, it's fine with me. :-)
Oh,
$ cygcheck -svr | egrep "(readline|bash)"

Hope this helps.
