Subject: [ruby-talk:22204] segfault on RedHat 6.2

using CVS checkout
../configure
make

[bzhou@host62 ruby]$ RUBYLIB=lib ./ruby sample/irb.rb
irb(main):001:0>
irb(main):002:0* ^C
irb(main):002:0>
irb(main):003:0*
irb(main):004:0* Segmentation fault (core dumped)    <== pressed ^C here

[bzhou@host62 ruby]$ rpm -qa | egrep 'readline|curse'
readline-2.2.1-6
readline-devel-2.2.1-6
ncurses3-1.9.9e-11
ncurses-devel-5.0-12
ncurses-5.0-12

BTW, on another RedHat 7.1 box, I could not reproduce the segfault. However,
as a separate issue: readline does not seem to work:

[bzhou@host71 ruby]$ rpm -qa | egrep 'readline|curse'
readline-4.1-9
ncurses-devel-5.2-8
readline-devel-4.1-9
ncurses4-5.0-2
ncurses-5.2-8

[bzhou@host71 ruby]$ RUBYLIB=lib ./ruby ext/readline/extconf.rb
checking for tgetnum() in -lncurses... yes
checking for readline/readline.h... yes
checking for readline/history.h... yes
checking for readline() in -lreadline... yes
checking for rl_filename_completion_function()... no
checking for rl_cleanup_after_signal()... yes
creating Makefile

Any idea?
