Description
This is Python 3.12.0 on Windows 11 in a venv with "pip install llm llm-gpt4all".
llm -m Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct "What's a double dual?" works, but "llm chat -m Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct" results in:
(llm) C:\th\llm>llm chat -m Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct

Research direction
Start with the chat command in llm/cli.py, especially the readline.parse_and_bind call shown in the traceback. Reproduce the issue with llm chat -m Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct on Windows 11, then verify that the command starts without the IndexError.
