Regardless of the status of libc6, the change over to 1.3.x or 1.3 Rev x, the desire to keep changes to the stable tree to a minimum, or whatever, this needs to be upgraded NOW. I have had a few other apps crap out on this bash 2.0 bug and since the Debian system lives and dies by bash it needs to be fixed A.S.A.P. by the maintainer, and or the development team, not kind Jens who got sick of it enough to download the source.
