I have been utterly unable to retrieve the file from the FTP server,
from three different machines (two of them firewalled, one of them a
non-firewalled VPS).  Passive mode times out, and active mode gives a
"bind: address already in use" error.  geirha suggested:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/snapshot/bash-4.4-beta2.tar.gz

so I tried that.  But there is some doubt about whether this is the
same as the ftp.cwru.edu tarball.  (Maybe post an SHA-1 for it?)

Whichever tarball it is that I got, it builds on HP-UX 10.20 with gcc 3.3
(but not with gcc 2.7.2, which is no big deal since that's not the gcc
I typically use).  Testing to begin.
