From tobiasb@tobserve.funcom.com

This is a bug report for perl from tobiasb@​funcom.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00503.

When going "out of range" at the prompt in the debugger - i.e. pressing
ctrl-n when there is no next line, or backspace when I'm at the start of the
line, it crashes.

Microsoft would have said "it's because the user is wrongdoing",
but I still regard this as a bug :) This behaviour is not present in
5.00404.

At the old, $Term​::ReadLine​::Gnu​::VERSION == 1.07, at the new 1.08.
$Term​::ReadLine​::VERSION and/or $Term​::ReadLine​::Perl​::VERSION was
nonexisting. Sorry, I don't really have a clue about the Term​::ReadLine
namespace hierarchy

I am unable to reproduce this but using 5.5.4 and Term​::ReadLine​::Gnu
1.08. Are you still experiencing the problem with newer perls and
Term​::ReadLine​::Gnus?

@schwern - Status changed from 'open' to 'stalled'

I can't produce this either -- with any Perl released in the last five
years -- so I'm putting this old ticket out of its misery.

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'stalled' to 'open'

@Hugmeir - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
