Ah - that's interesting... When you say non-OpenPKG, did you build them
yourself from source, or did you download the binaries from elsewhere?
Do you know what version of the compilers were used?
Do you know if they were built with CFLAGS=-O (the default for openpkg)
or whether more optimisations were enabled?
Could you include the output of "env" and "set -o" from bash-3?
Could you run "ldd" on bash-3, and see what libraries it's linked
against?
Cheers,
Stuart
