>Description:

libedit drops keys bound to ed-argument-digit, and consequenly
repeat counts do not work.

>How-To-Repeat:

'foo ESC 2 h' or similar in any program using libedit (e.g. ftp).

>Fix:

The problem is in read_getcmd(), which loops on cmd==0 where it intends
to loop on cmd==ED_UNASSIGNED. It happens that ED_ARGUMENT_DIGIT is
zero, so keys bound to that are dropped.
