Re: Bash crash

[Piotr Grzybowski]

Hey,

 we have had an off--list discussion with Kai on this (to shorten the
30 mails we exchanged ;-) I am writing this summary). He solved the
issue by --without-bash-malloc which could indicate a bug or lack of
proper support in lib/malloc/malloc.c for his platform. However, we
were unable to get more information, it is not that easy to reproduce.
If there is no one who can reproduce this we can try again, if you
think it is worthwhile.
 For now, if anyone bumps into this, try, according to Kai findings,
configure with --without-bash-malloc

cheers,
pg
