Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 48 Release Status: release Description: Dear Chet Ramey, I think I found a bug in the read build in. I described it at: https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?109181 But I'll write it here again: read sets variable on timeout, but should not When read is used with the -t option and nothing is entered an unset variable should remain unset but it is set: $ unset var; read -t 0.5 var; declare -p var declare -- var="" $ unset var; read -t 0.5 var <<< ''; declare -p var declare -- var="" $ Sincerely Kai P.S. Thank you for making such a great tool. Repeat-By: [Describe the sequence of events that causes the problem to occur.] Fix: [Description of how to fix the problem.
