+ READLINE PATCH REPORT
+ =====================
+
+Readline-Release: 5.1
+Patch-ID: readline51-004
+
+Bug-Reported-by: Mike Stroyan <mike.stroyan@hp.com>
+Bug-Reference-ID: <20060203191607.GC27614@localhost>
+Bug-Reference-URL: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2006-02/msg00004.html
+
+Bug-Description:
+
+The displayed search prompt is corrupted when using non-incremental
+searches in vi and emacs mode if the prompt contains non-printing
+characters or spans multiple lines. The prompt is expanded more than
+once; the second time without the escape sequences that protect non-
+printing characters from the length calculations.
