Since the FSF guy wouldn't post the sources I got thhem from an archive site
to look at (mainly to get the .tex files for some nice documentation :-))
Anyway, I new about the bug and the fix. I looked in builtins.c and found
that around line 1699, where the bug is, the code was quite different
from the code the patches try to fix. Maybe it's already been patched by
someone. It has been fixed by simply moving a }, but has been changed
quite extensively (?)
   I'd like to repeat my request to FSF for them to post the minix fixes
for bash-1.05. I'd like to play with it and if nothing fix the history
bug :-)
