The mods from the ftp archives?

I get different results:

	jacob@blackbox> echo $BASH_VERSION
	1.04.3
	jacob@blackbox> echo $SHLVL
	2
	jacob@blackbox> bash
	jacob@blackbox> echo $SHLVL
	3
	jacob@blackbox> :${abc?abc}
	abc
	jacob@blackbox> echo $SHLVL
	2
	jacob@blackbox> 

So it prints "abc" and then exits.
