Jython 2.5a3 on my Linux (Ubuntu) fails to find the Readline library:

$ ./jython 
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/gnu/readline/ReadlineLibrary
        at org.python.util.ReadlineConsole.<init>(ReadlineConsole.java:38)
...


The matter is connected to the use of bootclasspath: using the --verify
option makes it work.

$ ./jython --verify
Jython 2.5a3 (trunk:5315:5317, Sep 10 2008, 20:54:23)
[Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (Sun Microsystems Inc.)] on java1.6.0

No longer using bootclasspath by default as of 2.5b2, so this should
prevent this and other related linkage issues.
