Re: bashdb sig-test.sh failure

No failure using  4.4.0(1)-beta (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu). 

Thanks. I'll adjust things on my side then.

Try bash-4.4.  I think this was fixed back in the middle of August.  The
bash-4.3 implementation of save_ and restore_pipeline only provided one
save level, and multiple calls would try to access freed memory.  Depending
on your malloc implementation, this had different effects, all bad.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2015-08/msg00060.html is the
original bug report for this.
