Re: [Bug-readline] Pasting large amounts of text into readline-enabled programs truncates parts of the lines of the text being pasted

[Edmar Wiggers]

It seems the problem remains in readline-6.2 patch 3.

I've manually created a sys-libs/readline-6.2_p3.ebuild in Gentoo,
emerged/compiled it, and then re-emerged/compiled
app-shells/bash-4.2_p28 . Terminal output seems to indicate
readline-6.2 patch 3 was compiled and used in bash compilation. The
problem with data truncation/corruption on large paste persists.

Are you unable to reproduce the bug Chet?

I've attached a shell script for test (just copy and paste the text
into a terminal). You should get a Linux kernel configuration output,
and not "...gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated".
