    1 just to echo my experience: I am on Sequioa as well *BUT* on Apple Silicon, and was experiencing the same exact issue. Something like `echo ${HOME%/*}` would cause bash to segfault. And less you think this is a "niche" issue.. even something as insidious and dare I say common scenario like `ls -l ~/Downloads/*pdf` would kill bash as well. That's just unacceptable.
     1just to echo my experience: I am on Sequioa as well *BUT* on Apple Silicon, and was experiencing the same exact issue. Something like `echo ${HOME%/*}` would cause bash to segfault. And less you think this is a "niche" issue... even something as insidious and dare I say as common as `ls -l ~/Downloads/*pdf` would kill bash as well. This was how I first experienced the bug... which I could live with and get around using grep (even if suboptimal). But now I see that this issue is breaking scripts too, which is just unacceptable.

    33And just like everybody else, `sudo port -ns upgrade --force bash` fixed it for me. For anybody who's wondering, I did NOT have the option to activate an old version since I had done a reclaim already. I was already on the latest version of bash (`5.3.9_0`), but you can still do `sudo port -ns upgrade --force bash`.
