This is a patch that will fix bash 3.0 with the newer glibc's.  It is
from Linux From Scratch.  I was having the same problem and this fixed
it.  Luckily I had a terminal window open with the old bash so I was
able to get it working again.

I was going to update the devel grimoire with it but perforce has been
down.
