Maybe your issue is related to a specific OS and/or bash versions
I didn't realize that the OS or bash version could cause such an issue.
Anyhow the OS is
# uname -a
Linux sport 2.6.11.4-21.17-default #1 Fri Apr 6 08:42:34 UTC 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

And the bash version is
# bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (i586-suse-linux)

and the bash version is

If anyone knows of a cause for this problem I would appreciate help.

Thanks again
