You will need to tell people, generally in cases like this, what your

In the shell, any bash version, do
$ echo $PATH

I suspect your new bash is installed in /usr/local/bin/bash, and
your old bash is in /bin/bash or /sbin/bash. The directory in 
PATH which is searched first will determine which bash you get.
