You are welcome!
This will be the official patch, and yes I have another 9 bug fixes since
6.15.00. In general, I don't make 6.15.XX generally available, but the
severity of some of those problems fixed is high enough to possibly justify
a 6.16.00 sooner than later. Here's the list of fixes:

 10. kill `foo` got stuck because sigchld was disabled too soon (Mark Peek)
  9. Avoid null pointer dereference in proc cwd (Kurt Miller)
  8. eval "foreach a b c" exits (Anthony Menasse)
  7. Quoting was broken in substitutions (Joe Wells)
  6. QNX patches via pkgsrc
  5. cd - twice from a directory that contained a glob pattern,
     expands the glob twice (Mark Santcroos)
  4. MidnightBsd support (Lucas Holt)
  3. Fix history substitution core-dump with no history entries
  2. Merge two character tables that are the same (Martin Kraemer)
  1. On ancient 7 bit locales, punctuation characters are used to
     denote special characters such as umlaut, adiaresis, etc.
     These characters return true for isalpha/isalnum. Ignore them
     because they break parsing (Martin Kraemer)

Good luck.
