Different patch levels.

Same as mine: $ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.2.25(0)-release (i386-portbld-freebsd6.2) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. I'm not too sure why my bash is different in size. I guess it sucked in slightly different code when built due to our base systems being the 2 months apart. [snip] -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html
