Guy,

It is probably the binary vs !binary in your mount table.  I have built 
with success the bash-2.01 source in both NT 3.51 and 95.  I have all 
mount points as binary.  I've ignored the Permission Denied messages.  I 
too am using out-of-the-box B18. I had previously install ed the 
ncurses_1.9.9g library first.

In order to build bash you will need to:

   add to config.h.top the follow:
      #define _POSIX_VERSION 1

   modify sig.c where it uses SIGPROF with the preprocessor commands:
      #ifdef SIGPROF
         ...
      #endif
   SIGPROF is used twice in sig.c

   you will need to do:
      support/mkversion.sh -d 2.01 -p 0 > version.h

I believe this is all if not the rest is trivial.

If you need to remount your directories as binary, the easiest way to 
convert the files is to remove them and use:

      gzip -cd bash-2_01_tar.gz | tar -xv

Note, you may get the Permission Denied errors from tar also.
