Machine Type: i686-pc-cygwin
Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
Despite man page description and assurance some years ago that
it would be fixed
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2000-11/msg00092.html),
it appears that the bash shell option "expand_aliases" is not
properly set for interactive shells.
Repeat-By:
$ echo "echo \".bashrc: \`shopt expand_aliases\`\"" > ~/.bashrc
$ echo "echo \"foo: \`shopt expand_aliases\`\"" > foo
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.17(15)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
$ bash -i foo
.bashrc: expand_aliases on
foo: expand_aliases off
