Bash Version: 5.2 Patch Level: 2 Release Status: release Description: I can no longer run xxx-ct-ng.config scripts produced by crosstool-ng. Those just contain a few lines of script, with appended bzip2 compressed text. https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/blob/master/scripts/toolchain-config.in Bash 5.2 changed the check_binary_file function, it seems any NUL in the first 80 characters will cause the error. Repeat-By: Create a test.sh with : #!/bin/sh tail -n+4 "${0}" | bzcat exit 0 $ echo foo | bzip2 >> test.sh $ bash ./test.sh ./test.sh: ./test.sh: cannot execute binary file
