READLINE PATCH REPORT
=====================
Readline-Release: 5.1
Patch-ID: readline51-004
Bug-Reported-by: Mike Stroyan <

Bug-Reference-ID: <20060203191607.GC27614@localhost>

Bug-Description:
The displayed search prompt is corrupted when using non-incremental
searches in vi and emacs mode if the prompt contains non-printing
characters or spans multiple lines. The prompt is expanded more than
once; the second time without the escape sequences that protect non-
printing characters from the length calculations.
