...for some level of completeness in case this comes up again: it is not 
libedit that is at fault here. I downloaded the src for versions 2 amd 3 
and neither setproctitle not optreset are defined anywhere. Looking at 
my Ubuntu install reveals:
 $ ldd /usr/lib/libedit.so.2    linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffd1bd3000)    libbsd.so.0 => /lib/libbsd.so.0
(0x00007ff219cc9000)   libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x00007ff219a85000)    libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6
(0x00007ff219701000)   libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007ff2194fd000)    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(0x00007ff21a120000)

What's this libbsd then eh? Sure enough it is this guy that defines 
these symbols. So it is the way it is being built on the Ubuntu (or 
Debian) platform.
