Repeat-By: echo test >& "quote'test" Thanks for the report. This is specific to this form of redirection. The issue is that the WORD following the >& is expanded multiple times, since it has to be expanded once to determine whether it's a number, filename, `-', or empty. Once it's expanded, and known to be a filename, it shouldn't be expanded again.

I can confirm this all the way back to bash 2.05b, and only with the >& redirection operator. Not with &> or > or >> .
