Sep 25 19:42:00 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.13.8.obj~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386
Machine Type: i386-apple-darwin8.7.1
Bash Version: 3.1.17
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
Tilde expansion is not being performed when variables are being evaluated.
Repeat-By:
mkdir -p testdir/a/gooddir
mkdir -p \~/testdir/a/baddir
export TEST_VARIABLE="~/testdir/a"
ls $TEST_VARIABLE
expected output: gooddir
actual output: baddir
(Note that if TEST_VARIABLE is assigned without surrounding quotes,
tilde expansion will be done at assignment time, e.g. the variable will be
assigned "/home/userid/testdir/a" rather than "~/testdir/a".)
