Here's how to reproduce the problem:

[~]> cat test.py
import readline
readline.get_completer_delims()

[~]> echo 'execfile("test.py");print 10' | python
python: Objects/stringobject.c:111:
PyString_FromString: Assertion `str !=((void *)0)' failed.
Abort

This was tested with 2.2.1 under RedHat 8.0. On c.l.py,
a Mandrake 9.0 (py2.2.2) user reported a segfault with
the same.

Martin reported not seeing the problem with 2.3b1. 
However, others suggested still filing it for a
possible backport, and also in case the fix was accidental.

revision 2.54 in Modules/readline.c fixed this problem. 
Patch #512981: Update readline input stream on sys.stdin/out
change.

The patch must be modified for 2.2.3 because there is an API
change.

Barry, should this be handled for 2.2.3?

I obviously didn't get to this for 2.2.3.  Reassigning to
Fred who threatened to be the 2.2.4 RM.

It's fixed in Py2.3.4.
