The current patch level of bash can be obtained by downloading the most recent tarball from <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/> and then applying the subsequent patches from <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.4-patches/>, or whichever directory is appropriate for the current version. The patches for 4.4 currently go up to bash44-023, which would correspond to bash version 4.4.23 once compiled. I will also repeat, once more, my advice that one should NEVER write a script containing an unquoted $* or $@ expansion. It breaks in all kinds of ways in more than one shell. Just don't do it, and these problems go away.
