How do I get my shell back to normal readline?

I just ran an application that crashed... but before it did, it managed to set readline echo off, and probably a bunch of other settings.

Is there any way I can just tell my shell to re-initialize? To get back to whatever state existed before my shell got messed up by this evil program?
