Full details, including all sorts of logs here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857655 A very quick look doesn't show anything obvious, in fact, it might be a readline bug, but readline is remarkably stable and boring these days. ~tom == Fedora Project

Very hard to find this sort of bug without reproducibility instructions. But the bug report says that it is a SIGABRT, not SIGSEGV. That's a different kettle of fish isn't it?

I agree, especially if the bug is in readline somewhere.

Yep. It sure is. Just wanted to put in on your radar in case it ends up being helpful. I don't have any real plans to try to dig deeper into it, since this is the first such report (and Fedora has automated mechanisms for reporting crashed apps). ~tom == Fedora Project
