Easier said than done. This is the easy way to reproduce it. It can
also happen anytime I press C-c. Like typing up-arrow many times, then
deciding it's not near in the history, one C-c to get a clear command
line -> crash (and this is more sane typing speed). But this only
happen very seldom, but it's madly annoying when it does.

Where are the older bashes? Like 2.03 or earlier?
