I'm working on a console that has a slow scroll rate.  If I log in as a
normal user, "ls /usr/bin/", tab twice, then I get the "Display all ___
possibilities? (y or n)" prompt.  I type "y", control-C interrupt it,
then it eventually stops printing with "--More--^C".  I type "q", then
I get:
------------------------------------------------------------
[...]$ ls /usr/bin/
malloc: unknown:0: assertion botched
free: called with unallocated block argument
last command: ls /usr/bin
Aborting...Aborted
[...]$
------------------------------------------------------------

and bash dies.
