I've noticed that using readline after an lme analysis results in a crash.

E.g.
library(nlme)
fm1 <- lme(distance ~ age, data = Orthodont)
Crashes after typing the "up arrow", sometimes with the error message:

/usr/local/lib/R/bin/exec/R: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5:
undefined symbol: tputs

Details:
nlme 3.1-68.1
readline-5.0-3

I tried to get a backtrace using gd, but bt gave the output, "no stack"
