Bug Fix

BZ#978840
When a trap handler was invoked while running another trap handler, which was invoked during a pipeline call, bash was unresponsive. With this update, pipeline calls are saved and subsequently restored in this scenario, and bash responds normally.
Users of bash are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
