If you're doing this to fix the actual serious vulnerabilities in older 
bash (e.g. shellshock) you should also replace /bin/sh, which is the 
POSIX-required system shell that is used explicitly in some 
circumstances (e.g. boot time.) This is especially important if you're 
crazy enough to expose such an antique machine to the net.

I've seen that egregious hack somewhere before...
