- You have an older version of bash that didn't like all the changes from that
- drastic of an upgrade. You have 2 options at this point then.
-
- 1). Find a newer binary. I would try H.J's bootable rootdisk at this point.
- It should be on tsx-11.mit.edu in the pub/linux/GCC directory.
-
- 2). Recompile it yourself. You can pull down the source from any gnu mirror,
- and I can send you the context diffs that I sent off to the FSF for
- compiling it under linux.
