Bash Version: 3.1 Patch Level: 5 Release Status: release Description: If I have a long command line expansion with back ticks, executing code in a for loop, the contents of the loop are not executed every time. This does not seem to be true for built-in commands inside the loop. Repeat-By: for f in `seq 20000`; do ls /dev/null;done|wc -l (output: 4097) for f in `seq 20000`; do echo /dev/null;done|wc -l (output: 20000) for f in `seq 20000`; do /bin/echo /dev/null;done|wc -l (output: 4097) _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
