i686 GNU/Linux
Machine Type: i486-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
`read -a' is inserting a spurious ASCII 1 whenever it encounters a
backslash-escaped character. To be precise, it appears the backslash is
simply replaced by this character. For instance, the string "foo\ bar"
comes out as the sequence 66 6f 6f 01 20 62 61 72, instead of
66 6f 6f 20 62 61 72.
Repeat-By:
$ read -a ary
foo\ bar\\baz\"quux
$ echo -n ${ary[0]} | hexdump -C
