MSK 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz
GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Machine Type: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.0
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
Look at the following bash session:
$ { echo a; } |& { read a; echo "read: $a"; }
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
Expected behavior:
$ { echo a; } |& { read a; echo "read: $a"; }
read: a
It works correctly with `2>&1 |' instead of `|&' or when the
right side does not contain braces. For example:
$ f() { read a; echo "read: $a"; }
$ { echo a; } |& f
read: a
