In builtins/read.def (from bash-3.0.tar.gz): 677 old_attempted_completion_function = rl_attempted_completion_function; 678 rl_attempted_completion_function = (rl_completion_func_t *)NULL; 679 ret = readline (p); 680 rl_attempted_completion_function = old_attempted_completion_function;
I suspect that, in the case of timeout, the old function is never restored, and remains NULL. (I'm puzzled that this isn't repeatable, unless readline is completely disabled.)
I hope this makes sense to somebody, because the signal handling code and add_unwind_protect looks... scary, and out of my depth to patch.
