B20.0 on NT4.0/SP4: bash bug: spinning when executing a script

Howdy,

I have encountered a repeatable bug when executing a bash script under 
Beta 20.0 on a Windows NT 4.0 w/SP4 box.  When executing the enclosed 
script bash will start to spin at some point and eating up the CPU (went 
for over 6 hours last night).  I've had it happen on the three times I've 
run the script and the first time it occured on the third loop, then then 
second loop and the third time on 9th loop - I've enclosed trace (set 
-xv) of this last time and from what I can gather awk exited and bash 
started to spin.
