Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 45
Release Status: release
Description:
One of the side-effects of the latest changes of the help
builtin in the devel release is that ''help "(("'' no longer
shows the help for (( ... )), so I casually threw some asterisks
around it ... and got a segfault. This also happens in bash
4.2.45 and 4.2.25, but not 3.2.48. It only segfaults when
extglob is enabled; probably because it's an incomplete extglob.
Repeat-By:
bash -O extglob -c 'help "*((*"'
