Thanks for the report. The behavior with the eval builtin should be the same as without it -- being in a AND or OR list should inhibit execution of the ERR trap. The builtin execution code should temporarily disable the ERR trap for the eval/source/command builtins in the same way it temporarily disables and restores the -e option. This fix will be in the next version of bash. Chet -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer Chet Ramey, ITS, CWRU c...@case.edu http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/
