BASH_VERSION=1.03.49

Hardware : Black and white SPARCstation 1 or color Sun 4/260.

OS : SunOS Release 4.0.3c

Compiler : gcc 1.35.98

Bug: Logging in on the console, with bash as your login shell
causes the machine to print

panic: chgstropts: can't allocate stropts message.

and it then reboots, IFF you are the first user to log in since the machine
has been rebooted.  Rebooting the machine, logging in as a user with
a different shell (either csh or tcsh) and then logging out will prevent this.

Reproduce by:  Reboot the system, then immediately log in as a user who has
bash as the login shell.  The systems should panic as indicated above.
