Subject: B19 bash-2.01 alias problem

I'm trying to run the new B19 version of bash on NT 4.0 SP3.

I have an alias set up to run Oracle's SQL*PLUS. It worked fine
under the B18 version of bash but doesn't work under B19. SQL*PLUS is
invoked and then it immediately exits under B19. Here's an example:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
bash.exe-2.01$ alias pls_hrdb='plus33 hrdb/passwd AT oracle-nt'
bash.exe-2.01$ pls_hrdb

SQL*Plus: Release 3.3.4.0.0 - Production on Wed Mar 04 08:09:50 1998

Connected to:
Oracle7 Workgroup Server Release 7.3.4.0.0 - Production
With the distributed option
PL/SQL Release 2.3.4.0.0 - Production

SQL> Disconnected from Oracle7 Workgroup Server Release 7.3.4.0.0 -
Production
With the distributed option
PL/SQL Release 2.3.4.0.0 - Production
bash.exe-2.01$
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under B18 bash (i.e. version 1.14.7(2)) the alias left me at the SQL*PLUS
prompt which is what I want.

P.S. I realize coding the password in the alias is a dumb thing to do so
no flames please.
