Are you using rc1.5b2 and readline 2.1? Older versions of readline
definitely don't get on with rc... You can get the latest rc from here.
ftp://ftp.pipex.net/people/tim/rc-1.5b2.tar.gz
I believe this combination mostly works (although personally I use
editline). There's a known race condition under Linux which I hope to
fix very soon.
Please let me know if you can't get it working to your satisfaction.

Which "size" are you trying to economize on? Shells should
usually be linked statically anyway (see the recent thread on
comp.unix.internals)... for the next release, I'm considering adding
`-static' to the link if we're using gcc.
Tim.
