    logs out on bash 1.14.7(1)
    
    how ever I did notice that when you do bash -version
    
    then excute say
    ls `perl -e 'print "/*%s"x9000'`
    
    but the odd thing is when u gdb the core it says it was generated by
    `bash -version'
    
    to tired to look into this any further its 6:27am
