I'm having a problem which looks to be a bug in bash and I was wondering if I could get a confirmation/solution to my problem. I recently upgraded to the potato version of bash and now whenever I type a backspace on a blank line the shell crashes (logs out if on the console, quits an xterm). There have also been various strange crashes when using filename completion. If I change the shell to csh or tcsh and try the same things nothing happens.
The system is partially potato, but I didn't get any errors about missed dependencies when I installed the new bash. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here." -Douglas Adams 'The Restaurant at the End of the Universe'
