(Get the code!)
I do wonder if a version of Bash 3.1 should be included as an option in the distro. The change was unexpected and enough to hurt me at least one script that I wrote, and may be the cause of problems I've hard with an install script from a third party which kept insisting that I did not have prereqs installed which I did (it was paring the output of --version calls).
I suspect this is affecting a few people who run Ubuntu server. There should at least be an option for them to downgrade to an earlier version of bash to lessen the burden.
