Bash --version issue

[Allodoxaphobia]

Earlier today I performed the `bash` security upgrade on my
 | [userid~]uname -rs
 | FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p9
machine.  I thought to check the version level of `bash` to
see what I now have:

 | [userid~]man bash
 |  :
 |  :
 |   --version
 |         Show  version information for this instance of bash
 |         on the standard output and exit successfully.
 |  :
 |  :
 | [userid~]bash --version
 | address@hidden ~]$ exit
 | exit
 | [userid~]

I'm pretty sure it's worked ok here in the past -- for an unknown
value of $PAST.

With an older `bash` on an old linux workstation:

 | $ bash --version
 | GNU bash, version 4.1.5(1)-release
