Re: bash-3.1-7　BUG

But I intend that on binary files, \r\n line endings will treat the \r as part of the line, so at least binary mounts won't suffer from the speed impact of treating a file as unseekable the way bash 3.1-6 does.

Would it be possible to do this dynamically (instead of keying off of mounts, etc.): if the first line of the file read by bash has a \r\n, use text-mode (1-char-at-a-time) semantics, else use binary semantics (lseek)?
