Bug report

Bug description:

In readline.c, a call is made to strdup to populate completer_word_break_characters, but the return value of strdup is never checked before being used. In strdup failed, it will lead to a hard crash.

completer_word_break_characters =
strdup(" \t\n`~!@#$%^&*()-=+[{]}\\|;:'\",<>/?");
/* All nonalphanums except '.' */
#ifdef WITH_EDITLINE
// libedit uses rl_basic_word_break_characters instead of
// rl_completer_word_break_characters as complete delimiter
rl_basic_word_break_characters = completer_word_break_characters;
#else
if (using_libedit_emulation) {
rl_basic_word_break_characters = completer_word_break_characters;
}
#endif
rl_completer_word_break_characters = completer_word_break_characters;
