I guess I should say this since I never have:

I greatly appreciate the bug reports and fixes supplied by the various
members of this group, and my job would be infinitely more difficult
without all of your help.

However, unless I officially "bless" a patch presented in this mailing
list, you install the "fix" at your own risk.  The next version of bash
will be presented with diffs for .99 and also as a complete source tree,
so bash maintainers will be able to decide which is more convenient for
them to use.

Some of the patches are very good, and have found their way into the
next release; some of them are not as good, and have been discarded in
favor of a cleaner fix, or failing any cleaner fix, not implemented.

This is because I would rather let something minor remain broken than
break more things in a less compatible fashion by installing an unclean
fix.

Thanks for all your support,

	Brian Fox
