Install GNU readline :-(. Apple managed to improve libedit's tab
completion from "sometimes dumps core" in 10.6 to "fails entirely"
in 10.7, so you just plain can't use the built-in libedit.

(I've filed an Apple bug report about it, I suggest others do likewise.
History suggests that unless there are numerous complaints, this won't
get fixed before 10.8.)
