It is possible to install a patch for 10.6.
There is an alternative to that method. As I referred to in post #31318 above,
TenFourFox made a Bash patch available that '
works on 10.4 all the way to 10.9 on 32-bit Intel, 64-bit Intel and PowerPC'. So
this helps out the Snowy users as well as those with PPC Macs, provided the latter run at least Tiger.
The fix requires downloading the patched Bash (linked to in the first sentence of the TenFourFox blog post under the version number '
4.3.27'), and the use of Terminal. A detailed description of the procedure to follow is included, as is the suggestion to get expert help if you're not comfortable with Terminal.
