	It would have been nice to know this. I assumed that when bash
1.06 arrived that I would be able to compile it under IRIX 3.2.* - not
so. I got hold of bash1.06beta and found only IRIX 3.3 support;
I have managed to get it working (including JOB control) under IRIX
3.2 (3.2.3 to be precise). If anyone is interested then I will make up 
a patch file as it seems to be stable at this stage; time permitting.
