I can into this recently on my osx install.
It is another case of Apple being really, really stupid.

Look to see if /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib is a symlink to libedit
Once I made libreadline actually readline, it stopped segfaulting.  
(Highly annoying since I kept trying to recompile to get it to work).
You can also use otool -L psql to check to see what it is actually  
linking as well.

(You were getting those core dumps and the message about szone_error  
right - I missed the rest of the thread)
