Title:
  shell scripts cannot run from bash

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  ubuntu 8.10 64-bit does not run scripts properly from bash.  try this:

  $ echo echo hello! > hello
  $ chmod +x hello
  $ ./hello

  bash crashes with the following error:

  malloc: ../bash/dispose_cmd.c:241: assertion botched
  free: called with unallocated block argument
  Aborting...Aborted

  this obviously has unbelievable security ramifications.  i'm amazed
  this ever saw the light of day.
