G'day,

For some reason bash-2.05a-2 = does not=20 export the SHELL environment variable. If you type "echo $SHELL" you = get the=20 right response of "/bin/bash", however, if you type "env | grep = SHELL" the=20 variable is not to be seen. bash-2.05-8 seems to be working correctly = though=20 and I have moved back to this version.

I first noticed it when I ran = KDE's kvt.=20 For some reason it was using a Bourne shell and not a Bash shell. I = checked=20 the environment for the SHELL variable and it was not there. I = manually set=20 "export SHELL=3D/bin/bash" and ran kvt again and it ran correctly = with a Bash=20 shell.
Have Fun = !!
