Hi all,

I'm having some problems with readline on FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.0 - my lowercase 
'x' has mysteriously disappeared (meaning it doesn't get read by readline). I 
run bash, mysql client and a couple other sundry utils that use readline, and 
they all exhibit this problem (and I discovered turning off readline use in 
bash with --noediting solves the problem - but readline is otherwise kinda 
handy and I'd like to keep it if I can make it work). I first noticed this when 
I went to portupgrade to the 11-10-05 dated readline port in ports - the first 
shell I opened up after the portupgrade completed exhibited this problem, as 
have all bash shells since (without readline disabled). Since then I haven't 
been able to shake it. I tried to back down the port to the prior version, I 
tried updating and rebuilding userland (am I right in thinking userland has a 
copy of readline all its own? Seems that way from what `find` says), manually 
linking to the older readline edition...I even went ahead with the upgrade to 
6.0 as a desperation move, but nothing's changed. Shells and terminals aren't 
really my strong point so I'm pretty much out of ideas to try now. Any help 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Bryan
