Should I read this as ".. seems fairly likely that the problem Jeffrey is seeing is tied to bash" ? I can't reproduce it either, so my reasoning would rather be "The problem is probably not caused by the shipped bash version" It could be something in the environemt, that confuses our tests here. Does ./t3902-quoted.sh -v -d give anything useful ?
