2.05a is the newest version of GNU bash.  2.05.8(1)-release is
something RedHat made out of, I assume, 2.05, the previous version.
If you have a problem with GNU's bash, report it here.  If you have a
problem with RedHat's bash, report it to RedHat.  If they introduced
the problem, they can fx it; if they find that the problem present in
the original GNU release, they can report it here, or notify you so
you can do so.

Install GNU's bash 2.05a.
