Machine Type: i686-redhat-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 42
Release Status: release
Description:
When BASH finds a per-cent. sign ('%') as the first character of a
command after quote expansion, such a per-cent. sign is normally
treated as beginning the identifier of a job to take into the fore-
ground (or into the background, if the identifier is followed by an
ampersand ['&']).
Contrary to current behavior, this should not happen if BASH en-
counters the per-cent. sign preceded by a backslash ('\') or enclosed
within quotation marks ("'...'").
This bug prevents BASH from executing programs whose names begin with
'%', unless BASH is told not to use the PATH environment variable to
look for those programs (by the presence of a slash in the first
argument). This is not an issue in 'zsh':
[root@la-escuela-cunningham]~# %
fg: no current job
[root@la-escuela-cunningham]~# '%'
zsh: command not found: %
Repeat-By:
See above.
[This was sent from a computer other than the computer whose copy of BASH had
the bug.]
