P.S.  If using Bash 3.1, is it okay to leave the bash 3.2 ncurses
patch, or should it not be used?  Assuming that the patch will be
needed for bash 3.2, it would be nice to leave  it for a possible
update later, and as far as the temporary system goes, I installed
ncurses with the patch and I wouldn't want it to create problems with
bash 3.1.

The idea is that bash-3.2 has had regressions on accepted behavior,
like that in the ncurses scripts. As these issues are identified in
bash, the maintainer will release patches that fix it. That's why we
carry around those monster patches for bash.

So, the answer is, no you shouldn't add that patch if you're using
bash-3.1. The ncurses patch is a workaround until bash-3.2 gets fixed
up to do the right thing.
