Bash Version: 4.2 Patch Level: 0 Release Status: release Description: "break" keyword inside a while-condition doesn't work as expected : it breaks the wrong loop. Repeat-By: # 1) should raise a parsing error (but it doesn't) while break ; true ; do true ; done # 2) should break the outer loop (but it doesn't) while true ; do while break ; do whatever-because-never-reached ; done ; echo fail ; done Fix: I don't know.
