G'day,
For some reason bash-2.05a-2 does not export the SHELL environment variable.
If you type "echo $SHELL" you get the right response of "/bin/bash",
however, if you type "env | grep SHELL" the variable is not to be seen.
bash-2.05-8 seems to be working correctly though and I have moved back to
this version.
I first noticed it when I ran KDE's kvt. For some reason it was using a
Bourne shell and not a Bash shell. I checked the environment for the SHELL
variable and it was not there. I manually set "export SHELL=/bin/bash" and
ran kvt again and it ran correctly with a Bash shell.
Have Fun !!
Shane Hill
