I see.  I misunderstood the master branch to be development, but it's the
release branch.

Can we compromise a little and revert this patch just until the commit has
made into a Bash release?  I, like other Emacs users, can afford the risks
to run a development Emacs, but I cannot risk a development Bash.

Thanks,
Jake
