For some reason it expects a compound command on named coprocesses, http://bash-hackers.org/wiki/doku.php/syntax/keywords/coproc MSGID <mailman.4819.1231909794.26697.bug-b...@gnu.org> bash(1): If NAME is not supplied, the default name is COPROC. NAME must not be supplied if command is a simple command (see above); otherwise, it is interpreted as the first word of the simple command. Yes, it's not intuitive. Jan
