bash problem

It appears that there may be an issue when bash terminates a shell as a result of TMOUT expiring. I was attempting to enter "dc_command show media | grep YD" to the shell and this is the terminal output... OLDuser@hostname $ dc_command show mediatimed out waiting for input: auto-logout NEWuser@

Bug, feature or just the correct behaviour (stat'ing -bash down the PATH)

$ echo $PATH /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/dt/bin:/home/USER/bin $ a truss of "bash -ls" shows it stat'ing '-bash' in each of the directories in PATH... 11933: stat64("/usr/bin/-bash", 0xFFBFEBE8)Err#2 ENOENT 11933: stat64("/usr/sbin/-bash", 0xFFBFEBE8) Err#2 ENOENT 11933: st

Using TMOUT as default for read bultin is unwise
