[Pythonmac-SIG] "del" key in the REPL?

[David Warde-Farley]

It's merely a minor annoyance, but has anyone else noticed that  
hitting the "forward delete" key (not the Delete aka backspace key  
two rows above return) on a full-sized keyboard crashes the Universal  
Python interpreter?  Not immediately, you either have to hit it a few  
times or hit it and then hit another key, and it produces a bus error.

My Terminal.app is sending \033[3~ for that key.

Looks like readline's problem, though I've never seen this behaviour  
on the other readline-linked apps I use.

Here's the version info:
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Apr  7 2006, 10:54:33)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin
