Why don't you give this a try:

#---------------------------
#cat bash_bsd_fix.sh

mkdir src
cd src
fetch http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.3.tar.gz
for i in $(jot -w %03d 25); do 
fetch http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.3-patches/bash43-$i; done
tar zxvf bash-4.3.tar.gz
cd bash-4.3
for i in $(jot -w %03d 25);do patch -p0 < ../bash43-$i; done
./configure && make
#---------------------------


If it compiles without errors, then:


#---------------------------
make install
cd ..
cd ..
rm -r src
#---------------------------


I got this script from a colleague in the Brazilian BSD list. He used
it to update his old servers. It was tested only on 8.1 and up but I
don't see why you can't give it a spin.

I used it withou any problems on all my 8.x servers.
