Hello,
I just compiled and ran bash on our Alliant FX/4 (bsd-4.3 more or less).
First of all, what a pleasant surprise!  I can tell that this is going
to be a very nice shell.

Now,
It seemed to run fine until I typed ^D, which I thought might cause
me to exit the shell, but instead it caused a core dump.  I don't know
if this is a bug with bash or bison (I used bison-1.03).  I have used
bison-1.03 for other things, apparently without problems.  Here's what
happened:
-------------------------------------
Version: 1.02
Bison Version: 1.03
Hardware: Alliant FX/4
OS: Concentrix 5.0 (supposedly 4.3BSD)
Compiler: GCC all the way

(from csh)
/usr/local/src/bash-1.02[90] bash
bash$ ^D
Bus error (core dumped)
/usr/local/src/bash-1.02[91] adb bash core
corefile:
	program=`bash'
	status=`bus-error (unknown code)'
ready

-------------------------------------------------------------

I will be glad to provide any more information that you want.
Keep up the good work!
