invalid memory reference

[blippy]

I'm using racket v8.9. I do:

raco pkg install rash
racket -l rash/repl --

which gives me the response:

invalid memory reference.  Some debugging context lost

Can you tell me more about your system? Eg. can you tell me your OS and version, and whether this is a Racket CS or BC build? Did you install it with your OS package manager, using the downloadable installer from the Racket website, or something else? Anything else about your setup could potentially be helpful. Thanks.

I'm on Debian Stable. I installed it using racket-8.9-x86_64-linux-cs.sh

In drracket, the following program works fine:

#lang rash
echo The number of Racket files in this directory:
ls *.rkt | wc -l

I can even run it as a script

The problem seems to be related to readline, because I am able to reproduce the problem as per this link: https://racket.discourse.group/t/racket-crashes-with-invalid-memory-reference/2206

I built the latest version of racket from source. That fixed the problem.
