Hello,
	I compiled BASH 1.12 on an IBM 370-type machine and it seemed
to compile just fine, but when I try to do virtually anything under the
shell I get the error "Illegal instruction" and it completely kills
my login.  Also, there is a core dump of zero length.  Has anyone else 
seen this?  I'd appreciate any help.  Here are the particulars:

			Bash Version: 1.12
			Machine & OS: IBM 4164 running AIX V1.2.1 on VM
			Compiler: MetaWare's High-C
			Description of Bug: Says "Illegal instruction",
					    and dies (kills login)
			Short Script to cause bug: $ echo $TERM


Thanks,
Jeff Parker
