Not just yet.  I was hoping something else might have been fixed since 
I got my copy of bash v2.04.  Mine is size 576,512, date 07-13-00 
12:43p, version info "GNU bash, version 2.04.7(1)-release 
(i386-pc-msdosdjgpp)".

If nothing rings a bell, then I will try to work up a pure bash example 
(if I can).  If I can't get bash to duplicate this behavior, I'll have 
to assume it is something else about the perl implementation and keep 
looking.

I'll get back to you as soon as I can on whether I can make bash show 
this behavior.
