I couldn't even reboot when this happened. I rebuilt a bash 2.0.2 directly from the source, and linked it *statically* to replace the binary in /bin. I still don't understand while binaries in /bin are NOT statically linked as the should be. Have a look at what BSD does. /bin an /sbin contains statically linked binaries :-) Hub -- Betamaxed: When a technology is overtaken by an inferior, but better marketed, techology.
