Your message arrived in the middle of my composing this message...

As you may have noticed (at least it looked like it was sending mail
to you... :-),  I've run accross a reproducible bug in bash.  I'm not
sure how much info the bug report includes so here's some stuff it
might not have mentioned:

We are running yellow pages.  I was doing an accidental completion on
a login name that did not exist:

bash>> more ~Co<tab>

I have to do it three or four times on a fresh shell to make it crash.

You probably have this information:
Sun3 with SunOS3.5 running bash 1.01 (version number is from version.h
in the source directory).  We have made no local modifications.

I really like your shell!
