Patches for bash has been committed to git repository the last days for 
upcoming 5.1.2-beta1.

Phew,  I doubt I even can build 2.x  from sources :)

For reasons of reasons versions before 5.1 are no longer maintained and should 
be considered as insecure "by nature".

If there is urgent need, I'll try to update bash.lrp for 5.0, but I suggest 
either to update to 5.1.2-beta once it's released or to replace bash with 
busybox shell (i.e removing bash.lrp from leaf.cfg).
