Hi Eliran,

This was reported by Conor McCarthy back in February 2017:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2017-02/msg00018.html

and fixed in the `devel' branch of the git repository in commit 
ac495185aab17ef6030a02ddc0be33380a27a94d
(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?h=devel&id=ac495185aab17ef6030a02ddc0be33380a27a94d).

It's also fixed in the 5.0 (alpha) version.
