Sorry it took so long to reply (I had meant to earlier and then forgot...)
As others have experienced, there's something wrong with the way gpsim
interfaces to the readline library. The problem is that I don't know why.
I can't reproduce this behavior so I have no way to debug it. This is the
first time I heard of a '4.0' readline library, so perhaps there's a
readline incompatibility issue between 3 and 4. I'll try downloading and
installing the latest readline library and see if I can reproduce this
behavior.
There won't be a patch until I or someone else knows exactly what's going
on.
