For anybody still running bash-4.2, and who does not wish to update to 4.3 (which apparently needs current readline - Fernando reported that broke apps linked agaisnt readline, such as fcron, until they were recompiled) I've now uploaded bash-4.2-fixes-13 to patches.
This contains everything which was in the upstream 4.2 patches when I looked (maybe an hour or two ago), critically it includes Florian Weimer's patch to add prefix and suffix for environment variables which contain shell functions [ bash42-050 ] - but I see that Bruce has now updated 4.3 again, not sure if that means there will be more changes for 4.2. I'm lucky - I don't have any public-facing systems, or users apart from myself, so I hope that anybody else using bash-4.2 has already either used the upstream patches, or moved to 4.3 and current readline. But somehow, I doubt that ;-) ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
