Sorry.  Because of bandwidth constraints we only update the archives
occasionally.

This has been reported.  Thanks for noticing it, though.

Hmm, I've never heard of that.  Double checking with my bash-2.01.1, it
seems to work fine.  I'm afraid it must be a bug in that version of bash. 
Please try a different bash release and see if problems persist; if they go
away, you should report a bug against bash.

Unfortunately it's not really possible to change the case name -- that's
the actual word we're looking for!

Have fun,
