[scala-tools] 2.8 REPL on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard, Java 1.6.0_15) broken?

[Kevin Squire]

Hello,

Just wanted to check here before filing a ticket.  A search here and
in TRAC didn't find anything.

The REPL for recent 2.8 nightly builds is broken (for me) on Mac OS X
(Snow Leopard, Java 1.6.0_15).  The ones I've checked are r19316 (28
Oct) and r19352 (30 Oct).  Compiling and running programs works fine.
When the REPL is run, however, it brings up the prompt, but then hangs
on any input.  Backspace is also broken.

Is this known, or should I file a ticket?

Emphasis on "for you", so please don't file a ticket unless you can
describe something reproducible.

I didn't know about scala -verbose.  Thanks for telling me about that,
though it doesn't tell me much.  SIGQUIT doesn't really tell much
either.  In both cases, it seems to be running, just not receiving any
input--it doesn't even look stuck.  Output similar to 2.7.7.final
(which works).  My terminal is the same for each version of scala, and
I've stripped all crud out of my environment.

Would you be willing to look at the output and compare it to the
output on your system, or tell me if you see something?

Figured it out.

I had problems with jline in the past, and had created a
.jlinebindings.properties file, which screwing up input for scala.  It
doesn't look like scala 2.7.7.final used jline.

I apologize for the spam, and thanks to Paul for the help.
