I'll tell you how many changes I made: 0.

I never said Bash caused a problem with the Kerberos compilation. It
did cause problems with the Screen and the Kernel
compilation. Everyone agreed that Bash was at fault.

I think you are trying too hard to find faults in something that is
available free. I was also not trying to give you a tip about
anything. You made the statement that Kerberos does not compile out of
the box. I followed up by saying this is wrong, because of the fact
that it worked without a hitch for me. And you are flaming the
authors. Find something more constructive to do with your time.
