Greg, you mentioned that it might be a build bug causing headaches.
As the same build environment was used to build tcsh, and to
(re)build/upgrade bash on this system, and tcsh's time works while bash's
doesn, I'm curious where the idea comes from. I don't doubt it, but I'm
curious what leads you to that.
Thanks!
Justin
