*NOTE*:  CentOS-4 has been past End Of Life for a long time (February
2012), and this bash issue is just one of many Critical ones that mean
you should not be running CentOS-4 in production where it in any way
touches the Internet:

If you absolutely must run an EL4 workload, please do not do it on
CentOS-4 and instead pay for and upgrade to RHEL-4 ELS as described in
the above link from February 2012.  CentOS-4 is unsafe .. don't use it
.. don't do it .. please.
