DJGPP binaries of bash-2.05b does not work nice under Vista. I have
noticed that when built GCC-4.4.1. For that reason I had to use
v2.03 version of bash-2.04 to get it through. Several bugs were fixed
in DJGPP port of bash after it's first release, but it seems there are
more to be found.

Better way could be perhaps a new port of for example bash-4.0.
But that of course is if and when somebody could have time for that.

You are still lucky that You're getting backtrace. Other likely
result is that Vista complains that DOS box just crushed and You are
not even getting any backtrace.
