That is equivalent to 'bash -c time', except that $0 is set to "ls" instead of "bash" or "time" for the duration of the command (in other words, the same crash as before, because you invoked time without arguments). > > However, > > $ bash -c 'time ls' Much better - now you are actually giving time an argument. Again, in bash 3.0, you should not use time without a valid argument (at least, not until I can roll a bash 3.0-15 that works around the coredump). Or you could upgrade to bash 3.1 (but remember to also use a current snapshot and readline 5.1), where the problem has been fixed upstream. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
