This is probably caused by the not so recent breakage of libedit.

I now understand why I didn't see as many problems as des for single-user
shells: I have /etc/malloc.conf -> aj, and this prevents detection of
the breakage.  With the default malloc options, "set -E" in /bin/sh
always dumps core if $TERM doesn't exist.  $TERM never exists for
single-user-shells if /usr is a separate filesystem.
