[Java-readline-devel] Problem with long (multiple) lines in history ..

[Henner Z. <he...@fr...>]

Hi,
I noticed, that if we store multiple lines in the history at once (as it 
is possible with the current CVS version), the history line is garbeled if 
the text becomes very long.

In my little SQL-shell, I sometimes have very long selects, that go over 
multiple lines. If I enter such a line, add it to the history and then go
up with the cursor (to refetch the last line in the history), that text is 
garbeled. Interestingly, the first couple of lines are readable, but 
then only random characters are shown.
Could it be, that there is some limitation 
of the number of bytes (like 1024) that can be stored per line in the 
history .. in the c-implementation of java-readline ? And if so, is there
a way to modify this limit somehow ?

ciao,
