Hi I won't have much time to attend to these two bugs before the end of next week, but I hope to find some time to actually debug this then. Any help with these would be appreciated.

Beyond that, it doesn't actually have an immediate effect - an existing connection doesn't appear to be disconnected in favour of a non-blacklisted cell. However once something else forces a disconnect, the cell appears to be actually blacklisted. At the moment I'm not sure about the intended behaviour in detail either.

The bug only > occurs on the first of the up-arrows. Confirmed, hopefully not too hard to fix - the internal readline code seems to be rather straight forward. Regards Stefan Lippers-Hollmann
