 Hi,

 AFAIK this _is_ netbsd specific, since as noted, the problem doesn't 
 appear in any other known (to me :-) environment. This leads one to 
 consider pkgsrc's netbsd patches, or netbsd's libraries, to be the 
 culprits. (I actually forgot to list solaris 8 and 9, in which the same 
 versions of bash work OK with the same setup).
 
 But yeah, I can toss this up to bash developers (or debug it myself, in 
 case of sudden burst of free time).
 
 Br,
 Jussi
