install directadmin (full new installtion) fails - bash 5.1.4 bug ?

[sody]

hi,
I stugglled faliure installing Directadmin (full installation with apache and all) on debian bullseye (11.2).
when I noticed installation script of apache hangs and not even using CPU I switshed to custombuild.
what I saw is after starting installation process of apache which installts apr first getting to do (on the hoods) ./configure (httpd-2.4.51/srclib/apr) it stuck on a line saying generating configure.status..
after some digging using bash -x it appears to get to line that does cat >> \_ASEOF
which hangs there
no matter what I did couldn't get pass this.. after all I switched to centos 7 which seemed fine to continue..
I checked bash version which showed this:
Debian- GNU bash, version 5.1.4(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
CentOS7 - GNU bash, version 4.2.46(2)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

I copied bash from centos to debian and after that it seems that the problem gone!

so it seems a bug in bash somehow.....
