I misread the problem as "dumps core" rather than "segfaults".
Sorry for the confusion, it exits because of SIGQUIT for me, and dumps core. It
does however not exit because of SIGSEGV.

(It really shouldn't segfault. I'm guessing sjamaan is right and this is one of
the things from your csirc causing the invalid handling of ^\ and readline being
a likely cause.)


Best regards,
