Bash Version: 5.0
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
I believe there's a bug in bash 4.4 (and still in 5.1) that wasn't
there in 4.3.30
When 'command -p' runs, it no longer seems to restore the hash to its
previous value.
This came in in mid-2015 as part of a set of fixes to `command -p'. I think
the bash-4.4 and later behavior is correct: just because you're telling
command to use a standard path it doesn't mean it should not act like it
would in any other circumstance. There's nothing in POSIX that contradicts
that.
