Hm. I just installed NetBSD 8.2 in a VM, and it passes this test:
# +++ tap install-check in src/bin/psql +++
t/001_basic.pl ........... ok
t/010_tab_completion.pl .. ok
t/020_cancel.pl .......... ok
All tests successful.
So it seems like the bug does not exist in any currently-supported
NetBSD release. Debian has been known to ship obsolete libedit
versions, though.
