Bash Version: 3.0 Patch Level: 16 Release Status: release Description: bash 3.0 sometimes incorrectly exits when executing an interactive background command that contains process substitution. This happened with bash 3.0 and patch 14, so I compiled bash 3.0 with all the patches up to 16, and it still happens. Repeat-By: In an interactive shell, repeatedly execute the command: prompt> echo $(ls * | sort -n) & After a random number of executions, the parent shell will exit with a return value of 0.
