[BUG] Segmentation fault - Ruby 1.8.2 on XP when using command completion (readline?)

I have had IRB crash a few times when repeatedly using <TAB> completion. It
crashes at the unpredictable (to me) Nth <TAB>.

Also crashes on some <TAB>s outside irb with programs that (I think) use
readline. e.g.

add delete exit

helC:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cmd-0.7.2/lib/cmd.rb:262
: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]

Just thought I'd report it. Anyone else notice this on XP?

yes, this is known but nobody was able to fix it.
IIRC someone pointed out this happens when the number of things to show is bigger than the prompt/shell line buffer, but I'm not sure this has been confirmed.
