I'm not sure what changes you've made to the red hat version of bash, but
bash-3.2.17 and bash-3.2.39 (the two versions I happen to have on this
machine) both print `hello' after the error message.  The top_level_cleanup
function and the calls to it were introduced in bash-3.2 patch 20, so
the behavior appears to be consistent before and after the patch.
