Bash Version: 2.05a
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
        The RL_MINOR= in aclocal.m4 uses single brackets for it's a-zA-Z range,
        which evaluates to no brackets in configure (see bash-2.05a configure).
        So the trailing 'a' from "4.2a" remains and readline is not identified
        properly. If this description is too short, just see the fix below.

Repeat-By:
        ./configure --with-installed-readline

Fix:
