Hi Chet,

for unrelated reasons I'm currently building identically configured bash
binaries on Linux and Solaris. Interestingly enough I can now reproduce
the problem only on the Solaris build, and even there the problem goes
away when I run bash as 'env - ./bash --rcfile /dev/null' so it looks
like some setting is triggering the bug. I'll investigate this further.
