    I really don't see the point of people posting bash bugs here.  Especially
    not bugs in old versions.  There are a lot of bash bugs, you can't gain any
    extra priveleges by exploiting them though.

    from bash(1):
    
    BUG REPORTS
           If  you  find  a  bug  in bash, you should report it.  But
           first, you should make sure that it really is a  bug,  and
           that  it  appears  in  the latest version of bash that you
           have.
    
           Once you have determined that a bug actually  exists,  use
           the bashbug command to submit a bug report.  If you have a
           fix, you are encouraged to mail that as well!  Suggestions
           and  `philosophical'  bug  reports  may  be mailed to bug-
           bashat_private or posted  to  the  Usenet  newsgroup
           gnu.bash.bug.
    
           ALL bug reports should include:
    
           The version number of bash
           The hardware and operating system
           The compiler used to compile
           A description of the bug behaviour
           A short script or `recipe' which exercises the bug
    
           bashbug  inserts  the first three items automatically into
           the template it provides for filing a bug report.
    
           Comments and  bug  reports  concerning  this  manual  page
           should be directed to chetat_private
