This is binary of bash 1.10, patched with 8 bit patches supplied by
Bjorn Gronvall (bg@nada.kth.se). To my knowledge there are no similar
patches for newer bashes.  Bash 1.13 will apparently be 8 bit clean
without any patches. But if you need to use e.g. iso8859-1 *now* to
get your national characters, this binary should work alright. I have
used this patched version a long time in non-linux machines without
problems. You need to have 
set use-meta-bit Off
in your ~/.inputrc to enable 8 bit cleanness.

Initially I didn't plan to publish this binary, so it has some of my
preferences hard-coded. It was compiled with -O3 -m486, so it's
slightly bigger than standard bash 1.12. I don't know how -m486
binaries behave in 80386 machines, but I suspect there should be no
problems. Vi-mode is not included, since I don't use it and it takes
some space. 

Bash was compiled with gcc 2.2.2d7, lib 4.1, with jump tables. 
Kernel was 0.98.5.
