If you have a problem with GNU's bash, report it here. If you have a problem with RedHat's bash, report it to RedHat. If they introduced the problem, they can fx it; if they find that the problem present in the original GNU release, they can report it here, or notify you so you can do so. > Is there any workaround apart from downgrading bash? Install GNU's bash 2.05a. paul 2.05a has been in rawhide for a couple of weeks. I would highly suggest making an update available for RH7.2. This bug is making RH7.2 useless for a site which has to maintain large amounts of shell scripts. This is a high severity erratum. |
