Like said before in another reply, bumping up bash version (from OS's next
version) did not help to have the working condition I wanted. In
addition, it showed a problem with a variable, MANWIDTH or COLWIDTH, something
like that. Potentially others. 

I have rollbacked bash to the version present in version of the operating
system's package repository.

But changes like this help me to learn, the hard way. ;)
