Netscape and bash 2.0



>From our local linux mailing list:

I have most of them fixed, but one annoying thing
still is there.  When netscape calls a "helper",
it uses the syntax
 
  ((somecommand somefile); rm somefile )&
 
but the new bash gets confused on the parentheses
with the semicolon.
 
I think redirecting /bin/sh to /usr/bin/tcsh would
fix it, but that seems like a dangerous thing to do.
Is there a proper fix?

*************

Since I don't use helper apps much, I never ran across this. Does anyone
have a solution?
