Description:
Confusion in manual or bug about BASH_LINENO

The manual says:
`BASH_LINENO'
 An array variable whose members are the line numbers in source
 files corresponding to each member of FUNCNAME.
 `${BASH_LINENO[$i]}' is the line number in the source file where
 `${FUNCNAME[$i]}' was called.  The corresponding source file name
 is `${BASH_SOURCE[$i]}'.  Use `LINENO' to obtain the current line
 number.

It seeams ${FUNCNAME[$i]} is matched by ${BASH_LINENO[$i-1]} as a pair.

Fatal Failure in bar:13: this is confusing


Fix:
Change the manual.  Or this may be a bug?

Can you reproduce the bug with PS1="\n\[\033[0m\]" (which seems to be
valid as far as I can see)?


Yes... I was able to reproduce on bash 3.2.9, but not bash 3.0.15 or 
bash 3.2.5. Good chance that makes one of four patches the culprit :-).
