Package: php4-cli
Version: 4:4.3.10-2
Followup-For: Bug #286356

The problem seems to be the using_history() function of libedit, a readline replacement. I've posted a bug report for them
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=118314&group_id=18314&func=browse).
Readline does not have this problem, so if php4 would just be configured with --with-readline instead of --with-libedit, our problem would be solved. (Why is
the non-GNU libedit used anyway?)
