The problem is that this command: bash -c '{ echo foo; } >unwriteable' exits with status 0. We have a workaround, but the Bash bug should get fixed. Repeat-By: $ touch foo $ chmod a-w foo $ bash -c '{ echo foo; } >foo'; echo $? bash: foo: Permission denied 0 The last line of output should be 1, not 0.
