Description:
        bash segfaults on the first command execution

Repeat-By:
        

Fix:
        Tracking the error with a debugger and comparing 2.04 and 2.05
        version of stringlib.c I think there it's a simple copy & paste 
        bug in stringlib.c: lines 222,223 come frome a part of code above
        and should most probably be simply removed. Here's the diff:
