  The stack looks like this when it spins:

  If you continue it, both strlen and rl_find_next_mbchar complete and return
to their callers, but rl_char_search_internal never returns; it loops forever
calling those two functions.

  Someone will need to build readline from source to see what's happening, but
I'd guess it's a real bug.
