Another -1. I would recommand everyone to downgrade to the previous
versions before rebooting or halting their systems. I had to boot from
a live CD in order to downgrade them.
When shutting down, the following was printed:
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 6
INIT: Sending process the TERM signal
INIT: no more process left in this runlevel.
And then it just hangs.
On bootup, i got a message about rc.sysinit getting a segfault in
bash. Then some errors about not finding the qingy libraries (I use
qingy as login manager) probably related to the mount issue that Angel
mentionned. Then it hangs.
`unset TZ' is the simplest test case that causes a segmentation fault
on my system.
The culprit appears to be the chkexport function introduced in patch
bash42-005 [1]. From the backtrace [2], I gather it should probably
check that find_variable returns a non-NULL value. Changing the line
after the find_variable call to read "if (v&& exported_p (v))" fixes
the issue for me.
I've sent a bug report to bug-bash@xxxxxxx using the neat bashbug
command. :p

I forwarded your analysis of the issue to the big-bash list as I am
subscribed so it will get straight through.
Thanks for looking into this.
And the upstream developer confirmed your fix is good within a minute of
me posting there!
