1.04: segmentation fault on Ultrix

Running Ultrix 2.0 on a uVaxII

I have installed bash 1.04 and have noticed a case where bash will
segmentation fault.  I cannot debug it because it seems to want to
transfer control outside of the program segment so the debugger gets
confused.  I can reproduce this every time by doing the following:

bash$ function blab () { while (1) ; do echo hi ; done ; }
bash$ blab
   <now press ^C before it finds the non-existent command 1>
segmentation fault

I have observed that bash will always crash if I interrupt a shell
function while it is executing or searching for an external command.
(to the best of my knowledge).

Hope this helps.
