Description
I got the lines "mcabber -f ~/.mcabber/ccc_mcabberrc_remote" and
"mcabber -f ~/.mcabber/ccc_mcabberrc_work" in my history.
Typing mc<UP> completes to the first one but I want the second one, so I
move the cursor to the 'r' of "remote" and type "d$" to delete it.
Now I type 'A' to append and want to go through the lines beginning with
"mcabber -f ~/.mcabber/ccc_mcabberrc_". After the first <UP> the cursor moves
one character back, to '_' and with a second <UP> the shell crashes.
Started from another shell I get "Memory fault(coredump)".
It's not related to the fact that mcabber is an alias for
'/opt/gentoo/usr/bin/mcabber' because it also occcurs when mcabber is executed
with its absolute path.
The coredump can be found at
http://www.zshare.net/download/61269299b237e479/
Frequency
Always
Regression
No
Steps to Reproduce
Set VISUAL=vi.
Get 2 string which differ in the last part into yout history, like "ls
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key" and "ls /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key".
Type a few characters like "ls /etc", complete with <UP>, delete the different
part with "d$" and try to complete with <UP> again.
Expected Result
Working completion.
Actual Result
Memory fault with coredump.
Error Message(s)
Memory fault(coredump)
Test Case
Workaround
$VISUAL != vi
