Yup, its a readline issue. The universal 2.4.3 installer was build  
using a static copy of libreadline, but didn't include some post- 
release patches for readline. For some reason the readline developers  
seem to think that shipping post-release patches instead of doing  
micro-releases is a good idea.

I've fixed this for the 2.5 installer, and didn't have time yet to  
build a new version of the 2.4 installer.
