Re: bash --coredump error

Hi,

Run
#> whence bash

and ensure that you get /opt/bash/bin/bash

It seems to me, you have more than one bash installation on that computer.
If I'm wrong, link the existing bash to /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin.

Re: bash --coredump error

Hi,

what is the version of the bash?
Where did you get it from?
Was it compiled for 11i?

I got a machine with bash not installed but copied from somewhere which did core on exec like yours. I dropped this bash, installed a current version and this one ran fine.
