~$ head /sbin/netenv
#!/bin/bash

If netenv segfaults with the line

/sbin/netenv: line 340: 7965 Segmentation fault $DIALOG --default-item
"$LAST_ITEM" --timetout $NETENV_TIMEOUT --menu "$CHOOSE_TITLE_TEXT" 20 $COLS
12 "${ITEM_LIST[@]}" 2>$TMPFIL

This must be a bug in bash, since a shell script doesn't do memory
management (and since $DIALOG has not yet been expanded to the
executable that would be called). Therefore I'm reassigning this to
bash. Matthias, please note the current severity "grave".

Regards, Frank
