Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 25
Release Status: release

Description: Attempting to run 'configure', or any shell 
script with #! /bin/sh,  results in the error message:


	"bash: ./configure: /usr/bin/bash: bad interpreter: 
Permission denied"


Repeat-By:  attempting to configure source for compiling. So 
far, any UNIX and Linux packages act the same; the above error.


Fix:

	attempting to revert bash versions is not working; the 
older program will not download from openSuSE update sites.

        Shalom,

        John B. Brown.
