See the very recent thread on Netscape helper apps. This is a
(well-known) bug in bash-2.00. The easy way to fix this is to install
ash, and make it your /bin/sh, instead of bash. The hard way to fix
it is to either downgrade bash to something before 2.00 or upgrade it
to 2.01. (there is no bo package for any bash other than 2.00 - I
have compiled my own .deb package for bash-2.01, and offer it in the
recent thread on netscape helper apps and replacing bash.
