I was just going to suggest that.  Did you compile Postgres from source,
or is this an assemblage of RPMs?  There have been enough different
versions of libreadline distributed that I wouldn't be surprised to find
out that our RPMs are not compatible with some of 'em.  But I dunno
whether the RPMs are marked with sufficiently tight dependency info.

If you find that a newer libreadline fixes it, we'd like to know what
the old and new libreadline versions are ...
