Dear Maintainer,

Attempting to use readline macros, playback crashed

To reproduce the issue start up
rlwrap cat
then issue "control+X, (" to start recording a macro. Enter
two lines of text
hello there
this is a test
(they will be echoed, obviously) Stop recording the macro
with "control+X, )".
When attempting to play back the macro with "control+X, e",
rlwrap crashes with a SIGSEGV
$ rlwrap cat
Before typing this line, I hit control+x followed by "("
Before typing this line, I hit control+x followed by "("
And am about to hit control+x followed by ")"
And am about to hit control+x followed by ")"
Now about to hit control+x followed by "e"
Now about to hit control+x followed by "e"
rlwrap: Oops, crashed (caught SIGSEGV) - this should not
have happened! If you need a core dump, re-configure
with --enable-debug and rebuild
Resetting terminal and cleaning up...

With the recorded macro, it should have retyped the first
two lines when playback was invoked.
I discovered the bug when using ed(1) but cat(1) was an
easier case to reproduce.
