bash is being executed as /bin/bash from a root login.
bash --version shows:
GNU bash, version 2.00.0(1)-release (i586-debian-linux) Copyright 1996 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
"It came in the box with the rest of the stuff."
Running bash as /bin/sh doesn't help, but "zsh" and "tcsh" both work fine. This is on 2.0.30.
--kmb203@psu.edu----------------Debian/GNU--1.3---Linux--2.0.30--- *Don't* background it, just sit there looking at it. Tell everyone "I'll get back to you as soon as this here job is finished". Very relaxing.
