[ruby-core:93526] [Ruby master Bug#15981] irb immediately crashes when typing any character

Issue #15981 has been updated by duerst (Martin Dst).


I was asked (apparently in private mail) about ^D and ^C. ^D produces the same Traceback. ^C produces another prompt, still with the number 001.

Bug #15981: irb immediately crashes when typing any character
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15981#change-79089

* Author: duerst (Martin Dst)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: aycabta (aycabta .)
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.7.0dev (2019-07-03T05:28:25Z trunk dcedf0a008) [x86_64-cygwin]
* Backport: 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
When invoking irb, the first prompt comes up, but as soon as any character (incl. e.g. space or tab) is typed, it immediately crashes it.
