R devel - May 2002 - hitting ^C breaks readline history (PR#1606)

Full_Name: Cyril Humbert
Version: 1.5.0
OS: linux
Submission from: (NULL) (193.50.159.2)


Hitting ^C breaks readline history (when R is stared in an xterm).

xterm -e R
^C    -> arrow key and history stop working.
For example, up-arrow gives "^[[A".

ldd ./R.bin 
    [../..]
    libreadline.so.4.1 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.1 (0x40020000)
    libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x4004c000)
    [../..]

libncurses version is 5.2.
Note. I've got the same problem with libreadline.so.4.2.

Yes, I've noticed as well. However, press Enter and things return to
normal.

If you give us a clue as to what causes the problem, we might fix it...
