MDK8 uses readline 4.1 (it also uses bash 2.04 and not the latest).
But I faile to see how this (the changelog entry) could be related :
the behaviour I got when executing
$ echo -n "test"; sleep 1
was getting the "test" message, a short pause, and then the prompt
apeared over it - overwriting the message. I think this suggests that
there's no problem of buffering.
