This looks like, in part, a problem in the readline library that GDB 
imports into the src CVS repository.   Can I suggest creating a bug 
report in:
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/bugs/
so that the GDB group can track the need to ensure this is fixed in the 
next readline import (if not earlier).

Can I also encourage you to persue this problem with the up-stream 
readline -- it might even already be fixed.
