Hello - 

I wanted to try building gcc on my DOS machine, so I downloaded what I
believe is the latest version of BASH (bashb9.zip).
Anyway, I've found it to be very unstable.  If I use it interactively, it
locks up constantly.  When I try to run it to 
like this 'bash autoconf', to build the configure script, it exits with a
sigsegv (this is hand transcribed, but I don't think there are errors in
it).

No functions since the exe's stripped.  I think I installed things
correctly (just put a copy of bash in \djgpp\bin\, and in \bin\sh.exe). 
Any sugestions?

Thanks
