Right, but better that I have a bug until the next update that fixes this than a system that doesn't work because bash crashes, right? I was only thinking very short term and not that the ebuild maintainer shouldn't eventually get things right with all bug fixes. Thanks for getting this issue out there today. It's been very helpful to have you along! Cheers, Mark
