Description
There are now 37 patches for Bash. The Bash patch in the Stable book only includes the first 28. We should make up a patch and add to the errata that the patch is available.

This perhaps should be reconsidered. It turns out that the new patch touches configure.in so autoconf is required, which is not available yet in Chapter 6. The bash build fails immediately.
Installing Autoconf before Bash works, but the autoconf test suite will fail on two accounts, one libtool is not available, the other perl is not available.
It may be best just to go with the existing patch in the book and remove the errata entry.
Other ideas?

Oops, wrong milestone. Leaving as none because it's against stable errata.

Added a note to rebuild Bash with the applied patches at the end of Chapter 6.
The note will only stay effective for a couple of weeks and will then be overcome by events (e.g. the LFS-6.6 release).
Thanks for uploading the patch, Randy. I've made an errata entry linking to them.
