Brian is back from Germany.  With any luck, 1.07 will be released soon.

Huh?  I ftp'd bash 1.07 from CWRU and it runs on my PI without difficulty.
Did I miss something?

Yeah.  That's not an official release of bash.  That's Chet's personal
version that includes most of 1.07 plus some stuff that he's added.  The
real 1.07 (or maybe 1.08) will hopefully be out real soon now.

It's rather unfortunate that it's come to the point where Chet was
forced to release an unofficial version, but hopefully it will spur
Brian to get in gear and give us a real release.

I tried it, too. It failed when I did "set | more" or "set | less".

So I did not consider using it. Did *I* miss something ?

Right, pipes don't work.  I'm a non-smoker, so I missed that.  So I'll
echo the original request, anyone have a working copy of bash?

Pipes vanish into the background.  If you run fg you hang.

A detailed analysis of this bug, which is the result of a race condition
caused by Posix process group semantics, appears in gnu.bash.bug.

I fixed it, and sent the fix on to Brian so that it will appear in the
official 1.07 whenever that is released.  If I ever make another release,
it will be in there, too.
