I believe Bash 4 is GPLv3 and Bash 3 is GPLv2, so it is very possible that OSX will never upgrade to the current bash. If the fix is obvious and simple then it sounds like a win. I suppose the argument could be made that an Emacs project should not go out of it's way to support old versions of software which are potentially being used only to avoid GPLv3 licensing... but I won't make that argument here. -- Eric Schulte https://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte PGP: 0x614CA05D
