[Rd] Latest R-devel build failing on OS X

[peter dalgaard]

I had a regression in config.site so the nightly build didn't. Retrying....

Looks like it will build, but the ctl-R, ctl-C bug is still present on OSX (w/Simon's libs). This _was_ fixed for a while, was it not?

(The NEWS entry is also wrong: The issue existed before readline 6.3)
