Hmph. I can tell you that readline builds fine for me on a fink-less
machine. The above looks like some sort of unfortunate interaction
between readline and some part of fink, but I dunno what. Anyway,
as long as fink's version of readline works for you, it doesn't seem
like our problem to chase.

Yeah, mighty annoying that ... maybe they can't because readline is GPL
not LGPL? The functionality inside their bash may come from some other
code, like the BSD libedit.
