birdc 2.0.0 crashes

... to no avail ... still crashes the same way.

No, it doesn't (I built the 2.0.0 the same way as the 1.6.3 - and all the others).

Running the 2.0.0 client inside gdb yields: (I installed libreadline6-dbg before testing)

Maybe this provides a hint?!


And here's another interesting datapoint: Since I use BIRD to replace the dreadful Quagga-derivate Ubiquiti delivers with their EdgeRouters I compiled BIRD-2.0.0 for the MIPS platform and there it does not exhibit the observed behavior! 

Same libreadline version, though:

csch# ldd ./birdc-2.0.0 
	librt.so.1 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x77118000)
	libhistory.so.6 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libhistory.so.6 (0x770ff000)
	libreadline.so.6 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libreadline.so.6 (0x770b5000)
	libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 (0x77087000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x7705c000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/mips-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x76ee1000)
	/lib/ld.so.1 (0x77136000)

Maybe I should download the src for libreadline6 to look at history.c, line 185 ;-)
