It seems to happen when working in more primitive environments with

Triggered by the mail of Jude, do you confirm that installing readline
prevents this bug from happening? Than indeed adding that as a
dependency would solve your issue.
No it doesn't. Just because readline is installed, it doesn't mean that
everything you run wil use it. Apart from my `cat` example which crashes
reliably even with readline6 installed, there are commands which don't use
readline (e.g. at) where I believe it will occur. right now I'm not in a
position to test it.
IMHO, tryign to work around the bug isn't the right approach. A bug that
will crash the entire system hard needs to be treated as a bug that needs
to be fixed.
