This helps a lot! By working my way thru 3way-comparison of 2.05unpatched vs
2.05patched vs 3.0patched, I saw that many (but not all) of Pierre's patches
must have made it back into bash mainstream.
For some sources, however (in particular in jobs.c and subst.c) the changes
from 2.05patched vs 3.0patched (also from 2.05patched vs 3.0unpatched) are
pervasive.
In fact, so pervasive, that I don't feel that I have enough information /
insider knowledge to apply the changes from 2.05patched to 3.0 myself.
Would it be possible that Pierre (Pierre Humblet?) could take a look at it,
please?
H.
