Yeah, that's libreadline's fault :-(.  You should complain to the
readline authors.

[ pokes around... ]  Hmm, it looks like bash is using append_history()
which has been added to readline since the 4.x days.  (It's there in
5.2; can't find any info about when it went in.)  Probably would be
worth adding a configure test so we can use this ...
