Hi all.

Just to demonstrate you the situation, I quote the last email from Chet:

The code that then followed plus the fix for the segfault with "unset 
FUNCNAME" (see bug-bash mailing list) is now available as patch from

http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/shells/bash/bash30-017t2.patch

So there will be no official patch ever... (P.S.: I'm not going to 
invest more time on this, but whoever feels, that this can't be Chet's 
last word.... ;) )

Still I pushed the patchlevel to 17 because I think it should be treated 
like an official patch. It seems, that this patch does the right thing. 
At least I could not reproduce a segfault anymore.
