Do you mean that you pass no input to "dash" but it sees a "(" anyway?
Is this reproducible?
Some useful ways to get logs would be
1. dash -x
2. after
debcheckout dash
cd dash
./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/dash CFLAGS='-g -O2 -Wall -DDEBUG=1'
make CFLAGS='-g -O2 -Wall -DDEBUG=1'
to try
2a.
src/dash -o debug
cat ./trace
2b.
src/dash
(in another terminal)
ps ax | grep dash
gdb -p <pid of dash>
bt
