Bash Version: 2.05
Patch Level: 1
Release Status: release

Description:
        Bash died with a mysterious message, apparently a double-free bug,
        when setting the environmental variable TERM multiple times in a
        session.  I generally have to switch between TERM=linux and
        TERM=vt100, depending on which applications I'm using at the time.
        TERM=linux is useful for most applications, such as vim and ls, while
        the Informix database tools do not recognize the linux terminal and
        must use something like vt100.

Repeat-By:
        [tlvcch@vcch21 vcch]$ export TERM=vt100
        [tlvcch@vcch21 vcch]$ export TERM=linux
        [tlvcch@vcch21 vcch]$ export TERM=vt100
        [tlvcch@vcch21 vcch]$ export TERM=linux
        [tlvcch@vcch21 vcch]$ export TERM=vt100
        [tlvcch@vcch21 vcch]$ export TERM=linux
        [tlvcch@vcch21 vcch]$ export TERM=vt100
        [tlvcch@vcch21 vcch]$ export TERM=linux
        free: called with already freed block argument
        last command: export TERM=linux
        Stopping myself...Connection to vcch21 closed.
