bash41-003
If command completion is attempted on a word with a quoted globbing
character (e.g., `*' or `?'), bash can reference a NULL pointer and
dump core.

bash41-004
When running in Posix mode and executing a shell function without local
variables, bash will not propagate a variable in a special builtin's temporary
environment to have global scope.

bash41-005
When the `read' builtin times out after the timeout specified with -t is
exceeded, it does not reset the flags that tell signal handlers to process
signals immediately instead of deferring their handling.  This can result
in unsafe functions being called from signal handlers, which can cause bash
to hang or dump core.


Reproducible: Always
