Xfire, you deserve the yellow card for this blatant stupidity.

The problem was not with the distro.  It was with one of the tools that
commonly gets distributed with it.  The same tool gets distributed with
Debian.  A different tool with similar properties about managing config
files gets distributed with SuSE (yast).  If I have a problem with that
tool then I'll rpm -e it, or un-dselect it or whatever.

bash causes me grief on occasion.  I suggest you never use a distro
that contains it.
