I see.  Debugging gdb+readline+ncurses may seem a little unpalatable.

I've been focusing on recasting the problem into one that I can test with
simpler programs.  But I overlooked the possibility of readline calling
tgetent, e.g., before initscr.

Actually, just reading the configure options in your previous mail, I didn't
see (yet) a significant difference between your/my configurations.  But today I
added a test-script with your settings, and given TERM=unknown, can see a
problem to investigate (perhaps the one that your traceback/report shows).

so yes, the feedback is helpful :-)
