I just opened issue 6877 and provided a patch that I use for a long  
time already.  It would be nice to have it in the release though since  
other people could benefit from it too.

It resolves a BusError crash when Python readline module is built with  
a native Mac OS X editline (emulates readline).  The patch fixes the  
issue and enables use of readline module on Mac OS X.

Best regards,
