I have managed to get bash 1.06 running on our SGI Personal IRISes 
(SYSV 3.1d OS). There is one problem that is catastrophic. 
If I make bash a login shell then doing something like:
	ls -ual .[a-z]* | less
will bring the whole system down! Needless to say I'm not prepared to
experiment any further. If bash is not a login shell, like doing exec bash 
from within csh, then there is no problem. 
Is this a bug in bash or the IRIS operating system?

Thanks for any help,
