Kernel change? Haven't built against 2.6.18, so I can't say. Did you

clean, or even menuconfig or xconfig?

   Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a
normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected,
and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during
wildcard (glob) expansion.
