Re: crash in rl_prep_terminal() without rl_outstream

Ahhh, that's almost certainly it, then. I'm not calling
rl_initialize() because I'm using readline in conjunction with
another character graphics library. This had once worked, but if
it's not supported behavior, I might need change how I do
things.

With that said, my program does appear to work once I set
rl_outstream by hand before calling rl_prep_terminal(). Given
the stdin special-case in rl_prep_terminal(), would this be so
out of place there? Is there other functionality I'm almost
certainly missing with this scheme?

Essentially, my program is calling setupterm() through a wrapper
library before setting up its libreadline input loop, placing
input into cbreak mode, and then running the input loop.
