By turning this option off, Bash will use the malloc functions from Glibc which are more stable. Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make tests Install the package: make install Make a link for the programs that use sh for a shell: ln -vs bash /tools/bin/sh <para>Details on this package are located in <xref linkend="contents-bash" role="."/></para> </sect2> </sect1>
