Sun, 11 Jul 2021 10:50:03 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 8
Release Status: release
Description:
An extglob like +(!(x))y causes Bash to freeze with a 100% CPU
utilization.
At the first glance the freeze doesn't seem to depend on the
(non-)existence of matching paths.
Repeat-By:
echo +(!(x))y # This freezes!
echo y+(!(x)) # Yet this does *not* freeze.
echo +(!(x))* # And this does *not* freeze.
echo *+(!(x)) # And this does *not* freeze.
