OK, bash-3.1_p16 has been in portage for a while now with no adverse effects. baselayout is kinda itching to get 1.12 marked stable, but we need bash-3.1 marked stable first. AFAWK, bash-3.1 works with baselayout-1.11, so there should be no trouble there. When you mark bash-3.1_p16 stable for your arch, please mark sys-libs/readline-5.1_p4 stable too as they kinda go hand in hand. Many thanks my friends :)
bash-3.1_p16 [-afs -bashlogger -build +nls] and readline-5.1_p4 seem to work fine on x86. I've just done a reboot with these packages installed, verified that emerge still does what it should and that the readline based interface of sci-mathematics/octave behaves as expected.

I had just update to the bash-3.1_p16, but with ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant was not able to get the wirless working, had a failure to power up the wireless card (RT2500) within the messagse (ndiswrapper (iw_set_tx_power:421): setting tx_power failed (C0010015)) So I have down graded back to bash-3.0-r12. If there is any advice ? Thanks Ian P.S.
