Hello, I have a bash-4.2 (installed in /home/my), compiled with GCC 4.6.1 directly from the sources. With this one, the following script:
--------------------------------- #!/home/my/bash-4.2 rm -rf /tmp/xxx mkdir -p /tmp/xxx/folder1 ln -s folder1 /tmp/xxx/folder if [ -d /tmp/xxx/folder ]; then echo folder; else echo no folder; fi if [ -x /tmp/xxx/folder ]; then echo execut; else echo no execut; fi exit --------------------------------- produces: folder no execut while the regular /bin/bash (4.1.10), with the same script: --------------------------------- #!/bin/bash rm -rf /tmp/xxx mkdir -p /tmp/xxx/folder1 ln -s folder1 /tmp/xxx/folder if [ -d /tmp/xxx/folder ]; then echo folder; else echo no folder; fi if [ -x /tmp/xxx/folder ]; then echo execut; else echo no execut; fi exit --------------------------------- produces (correctly): folder execut Could be a bug in bash-4.2, but... i have noticed that it occurs only under the newest snapshots. The change occurred between the 2011-07-21 and 2011-07-29 snapshots. My current /proc/version | tr -d '@' is: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 version 1.7.10s(0.249/5/3) (cgf) (gcc version 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1 (GCC) ) 20110801 00:02:52 Could someone please have a look and reproduce this?
