Ah-hah! So what we really want here, I guess, is for the test script to suppress reading of ~/.inputrc, on the same principle that it suppresses reading of ~/.psqlrc. A quick look at the readline docs suggests that the best way to do that would be to set envar INPUTRC to /dev/null --- could you confirm that that works for you? > Once I comment out the following two lines from ~/.inputrc, everything > works fine on > HEAD + HEAD-unset-TERM-in-tab-completion-test.patch: > set colored-completion-prefix on > set colored-stats on Hm. I wonder how it is that that leads to ignoring the TERM environment? Still, it's just an academic point if we can suppress reading the file. regards, tom lane
