Hrmmm. I definitely was crashing within rl_prep_terminal() (as noted with valgrind) until I set this. I'll look deeper into how this was happening, but gdb verified that rl_outstream was NULL when the writeouts at the end of this function were hit. -- nick black -=- https://www.nick-black.com to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe.
