if a SIGINT has been received, cleanup code will be executed that leaves
whatever readline was doing in a state that it cannot continue from.

I’m not familiar with C. So in essence, what bash was doing is like this:
1. Ctrl + R
2. readline() doing something
3. Ctrl + C + ESC
4. Bash: whoa I got a SIGINT, gotta cleanup and free everything!
5. readline(): oops everything’s gone I shit myself
6. Segfault

No. This is all internal to readline.
