Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.3-7 How reproducible: bc cut'n'paste say 10k of data (ls -l | awk '{print $5}' | tr '\n' '+' :-) ) watch text slowly (see bug #70036, which might be worth telling the maintainer about unless he already knows) appear on screen and bc segfault This has been fixed upstream in readline43-003 (ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-4.3-patches/ ). There are also some other patches in there that might be worth merging.
Should be fixed in 4.3-8.
