RE: GHCi 6.0 buglet - segfault on input
Yet another unimportant bug that you may or may not want to know about. In GHCi 6.0 on Red Hat 9, when I (accidentally) hit a function key, GHCi segfaults.
Apparently, the function keys insert 'ESC O x', with varying x's, perhaps it's the ESC that breaks GHCi?
Okay, so it's no big deal.
Could be a readline bug, but I don't have a RedHat 9 system here to test on. Do you have any non-standard settings, eg. .inputrc? What terminal type? Anyone else see similar behaviour? Cheers, Simon

Apparently, Python behaves in the same way. I'll file a report with RH and move along. -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants

No problem on my RH9 machine (using gnome-terminal). Cheers, Manuel
