+			     BASH PATCH REPORT
+			     =================
+
+Bash-Release:	4.2
+Patch-ID:	bash42-008
+
+Bug-Reported-by:	Doug McMahon <mc2man@optonline.net>
+Bug-Reference-ID:	<1299441211.2535.11.camel@doug-XPS-M1330>
+Bug-Reference-URL:	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2011-03/msg00050.html
+
+Bug-Description:
+
+Bash-4.2 does not attempt to save the shell history on receipt of a
+terminating signal that is handled synchronously.  Unfortunately, the
+`close' button on most X11 terminal emulators sends SIGHUP, which
+kills the shell.
+
+This is a very small patch to save the history in the case that an
+interactive shell receives a SIGHUP or SIGTERM while in readline and
+reading a command.
+
+The next version of bash will do this differently.
+
+Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
