Re: [patch] Fix testsuite annotate-quit race (PR 544)

What I think is happening is that rl_redisplay has some optimizations
which cause it not to redisplay.  And since we have a custom function
installed readline isn't calling the alternate hooks that force
display.  So rl_redisplay does not actually meet the interface
associated with rl_redisplay_function despite being its default
value.  Nasty.

That's interesting, if true. Can anyone add detail confirming this?
