bash3 isn't a specific dependency (or at leat it wasn't when i submitted the
port) - only bash (any version). since you used packages, you got whatever the
package was compiled with - and bash3 is the latest so the there you have it. at
any rate, the version of bash doesn't matter and having both shouldn't give the
error you mentioned.

i don't see anything in the code that should give your results; i'll setup
another test box and install via packages to see if there are any differences.
and of course if i locate the problem i'll submit an update.

thanks for the heads-up.
