Well, I did it and got a surprise.

First I saw nothing but "Segmentation fault"
Executing again with an inserted "set -vx" command showed,
that the Segfault occurred with or after the first 'read' in the
while loop.
This was with the very latest version of bash, 2.03.0 (990219),
statically linked, glibc2.

As I had some older versions handy I tried those. 
1.14.7 didn't work (as expected).
2.02.x (static, glibc1) succeeded
2.02.x (dynamic, glibc2) succeeded, too.

Must the failure of 2.03.0 be considered a bash bug?
If so, I would notify Chet Ramey, or someone else should do.

However, my newly built glibc 2.1 seems to be ok now and I
can install it.

Thanks a lot.

Henning
