Jens, if you think this is a bug, it would be great if you could ask on bug-bash. The worst that can happen is that they tell you it's not a bug. Actually, it looks like this has happened already, and you have to be careful with bash-3.1 v. 3.2 when using quotes on the rhs. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2007-03/msg00017.html -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
