These patches build and run without problem in our initial bash2 tests. However, I notice
that both the version number reported by ./bash --version and doing ./bash followed by
echo $BASH_VERSION both report "2.05b.0(1)-release". All versions that I've
tested of bash3 and bash4 report their patchlevel in the third field. If I manually
update patchlevel.h to change from 0 to 9, the version is reported as
'2.05b.((1)-release'. Bug?

I have observer that too. I searched into the source code and found that
while
the mkversion.sh script have a patchlevel option, the Makefile.in do not
seem
to be designed to use that feature prior to the 3.x version.
I wonder if adding a patch level in the version string might break code that
parse it to workaround some compatibility issues. On my side, I am fine with
a sticky version string for that old setup.
