Problems with bash
I'm having a problem which looks to be a bug in bash and I was wondering if I
could get a confirmation/solution to my problem. I recently upgraded to the
potato version of bash and now whenever I type a backspace on a blank line the
shell crashes (logs out if on the console, quits an xterm). There have also
been various strange crashes when using filename completion. If I change the
shell to csh or tcsh and try the same things nothing happens.
The system is partially potato, but I didn't get any errors about missed
dependencies when I installed the new bash. Anyone have any idea what's going
on?
