Confirmed this patch does fix this problem exhibited in bug 117770. Thanks.

Comment 3 Ben Ford 2006-02-06 00:32:24 UTC

fixed the problem for me as well.  Is there any reason that this isn't in the bash package even though there's been a patch available for close to a month and several bash package updates?

waiting for some upstream feedback on the issue

Another _p release has come and gone, but it appears this bug is still here.  Is there any chance of applying this patch (assuming it works successfully) until upstream get back to you?  This is an annoyance that looks like it can be easily fixed...

bash-3.1_p11 has this patch
