I can confirm that on 32-bit Linux.  On Cygwin, however, typing ^\ does
trigger a SIGSEGV with dumped core (except that it doesn't actually dump
core because the Windows kernel can't do that).  Both systems are running
version 4.8.2 (rev ea02c9a), and there is no .csirc file.  Readline is
not involved: the config line says "manyargs dload ptables" only.
