The latest FC5 package is bash-3.1-6.2; it contains the upstream
patches up to bash31-007, which means it's missing upstream patches
008 - 017.  The last three package updates are quite old:

* Fri Feb 10 2006 Jesse Keating <address@hidden> - 3.1-6.2
- bump again for double-long bug on ppc(64)
* Tue Feb 07 2006 Jesse Keating <address@hidden> - 3.1-6.1
- rebuilt for new gcc4.1 snapshot and glibc changes
* Sun Feb  5 2006 Tim Waugh <address@hidden> 3.1-6
- Patchlevel 7.

Afaics from reviewing the list archive, the only reported problem so
far is in the 'mail' command:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/quilt-dev/2006-05/msg00011.html

Could you confirm that only mail is busted by manually working around
the configure.in check, and then executing the following:

$ rm test/.*.ok
$ touch test/.mail.ok
$ make check

If there is only the one problem in mail, the mail.in syntax could be
revised to avoid this bug.
