I'm finding that /bin/bash is identical in every way (size, date

How is this possible?

Do you have prelink installed and enabled? By default, I believe that it's run with -R, which randomizes the address space to protect the executable from certain kinds of exploits.

Check out the man page for 'prelink' for more details, or read the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelink
