I have just received a version of bash from my friends in Columbia
University N.Y. and have succeeded in compiling it on two systems here
but I have the same bug on each. On exiting the shell using CTL-D I
get a core dump. Using bye or finish, it is OK. I just wondered if you
had a fix for this problem. Here is the information on the systems :

Bas Revision : 1.02
1)
Machine : SUN 3
OS : SunOS 4.0.1
Compiler : gcc revision 1.35.92

2)
Machine : Motorola Delta (68030)
OS : System V Release 3
Compiler : cc

I did also try compiling on the SUN using cc with the same result and
in all cases I have tried with -g and with -O. I have tried debugging
it but as yet haven't found the answer.

Hope you can help since it seems to be quite a useful shell.

Thanks in advance
