1.187. readline

Note

This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as FASTRACK errata RHBA-2009:1078

An updated readline package that fixes a bug is now available.

The Readline library provides a set of functions that allow users to edit command lines.

This updated package fixes the following bug:

readline failed to re-allocate the array used to keep track of wrapped screen lines. For a long enough input line, this resulted in an invalid pointer error and a segmentation fault crash. With this update, the array is properly re-allocated and the crash no longer occurs. (BZ#473359)

All Readline users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
