Package: dash
Version: 0.5.7-3
Severity: minor
Justification: usability enhancement
I gather from this issue that dash will not handle double-digit file
descriptors:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/249620
For example, if I try this:
exec 200>foo
I get the error
exec: 200: not found
That thread also reports that this behaviour is not intended to be changed. However,
this error is unhelpful for the user, so I would request that it would be more explicit,
perhaps something like "file descriptors greater than 9 are not supported".
Thanks
