Thanks for bash in the first place.

Chet, is there any workaround for existing versions?

I mean, there must be some memory corruption involved in here, so is it 
possible to dodge it without upgrading? For instance, would simply avoiding the 
"-t" option of "read" be enough to guarantee no memory corruption? Other? 
Thanks a lot in advance!

I know: the answer to this question is probably in the latest revision of the 
source code, but... I doubt I will fully understand what is happening there. 
And I am surely not the only one in this case.

Cheers,
