So this at least proves that bash is the program that cored. I'm not quite
sure what we should do about this.

Perhaps you can ask your admins to upgrade your bash?

You might be able to detect exctly what in the configure script that causes
bash to crash by invoking configure like this:

 $ sh -x ./configure --prefix=/home/mydir/curl --with-ssl

... since -x will give you a "trace" on what the shell is doing, sent to the
terminal.
