+First of all, Chet is unwilling (actually uncapable because he is 
+obviously not using a vcs) to release an official patch.
+
+According to the bash-bug mailing list and based on some hints from Chet,
+this patch was created. If fixes the off-by-n bug due to assigning 
+COMP_WORDBREAKS in an rcfile and the segfault produced by 'unset FUNCNAME'.
