Title:
bash exec command unwanted behaviour
Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
(GNU bash 4.3.46)
(ubuntu 16.04 LTS)
Consider you have out.txt on current dir.
-------
>exec 123456789012>out.txt
bash: exec: 123456789012: not found
-------
exec command prints indicated error for large numbers that is supposed to use
as a fd but redirects /proc/$$/fd/1 to out.txt silently.
Additionally,
-------
>exec 1234567890>out.txt
bash: 123456789: Bad file descriptor
-------
For large numbers but not that large (I don't inspect the limits!), exec
command rejects fd number but silently adds a new fd to current bash process.
In every execution of the command, bash adds a new fd to itself again and again.
