This patch lets a task have access to multiple namespaces.
You can create extra namespaces with the included SUBST command.
Then, from the bash prompt, you can switch from one namespace
to another by typing commands like "C" or "D". The default
namespace is "C" for compatibility reasons. You could assign
the "D" namespace to /mnt/cdrom for example. Unlike a similar
and inferior concept found in Windows, Linux namespaces are
case-sensitive for twice the power.
The POSIX-standard "//../" escape prefix hasn't been done yet.
Sorry. Avoiding setuid mounts would be a good idea as well,
until setuid execution can be blocked when not running in
the 'C' namespace.
In the usage example below, note that /bin/pwd has the
correct directory. Somebody who knows the bash code well
will need to unconfuse the shell about namespace changes.

Here is a bash-2.05a patch. It's bad enough that I made it gzipped,
uuencoded, and rot13 encrypted... though I must admit that the bash
code does not become significantly more evil with my changes. Also I
didn't want somebody to accidentally apply this patch to the kernel.
