Dear Maintainer,
If you have two redirections before the command or if you don't have a
command, bash will do alias expansion on the second filename and treat
the first word as a filename and the second word as a command. This
example shows it:
/tmp/a$ ls -a
.. ..
/tmp/a$ alias foo="abc def"
/tmp/a$ foo
bash: abc: command not found
/tmp/a$ </ >foo
bash: def: command not found
/tmp/a$ ls -a
.. .. abc
/tmp/a$ file abc
abc: empty

Hi,
this issue does not seem to affect version 5.0-6 and later of bash.
$ cd $(mktemp -d)
$ alias foo="abc def"
$ foo
bash: abc: command not found
$ </ >foo
$ ls -1
foo
Please reopen this bug if you can still reproduce this issue.
