Bash Version: 3.2 Patch Level: 9 Release Status: release Description: A syntactical wrong statement will confuse bash permanently so that arithmetic operations return wrong results. Repeat-By: [copy from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=286861] $ i=0 $ let ++i $ echo $i 1 $ let tmp="foo.a"+0 bash: let: tmp=foo.a+0: syntax error: invalid arithmetic... $ i=0 $ let ++i $ echo $i 0 --> every further use of 'let' will generate bogus results. bash-3.1 returns expected results.
