Hi.

Apparently there's some strange patch applied against the Debian
version of bash, which allows suid scripts to be executed
(isn't that a security issue?).


It also seems to invalidate that documented behaviour from the manpage:

So could you please either correct the behaviour or accordingly remove
that documentation and add it to a secution of deviations between
upstream and Debian?


Cheers,
Chris.
