[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I finally traced the problem down to setting tramp-histfile-override to t.

Apparently, Bash 5.0 doesn't like HISTSIZE=0.  Changing it to
HISTSIZE=1 fixes the error.

Attached patch demonstrating workaround.

I couldn't reproduce it by hand however: env HISTFILE=''
HISTFILESIZE=0 HISTSIZE=0 bash </tmp/tmp.sh

Since it's a SIGSEGV, presumably the stars have to be perfectly
aligned for the error to happen.

Reproduce:

1. emacs -Q
2. (setq tramp-histfile-override t)
3. C-x C-f /sudo::/ TAB <enter sudo password> RET

Versions:

"GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.30)
 of 2018-07-05"
GNU bash, version 5.0.0(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
