thanks
Hi,
this bug is present in both 1.14 and 1.15.
It happens because the 'rl_outstream' variable inside the actual
readline library somehow gets out of sync when STDOUT is dup(2)'ed
inside the Perl debugger. This is done for saving and restoring the
file descriptor while using the pager.
The attached simple patch seems to fix this.
Cheers,
