Package: bash
Version: 4.3-7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the following code fails in Debian Sid:

for (( j=0; j<( $(echo 1) + 2 ); j++ )); do echo foobar; done

The reported error is:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

and no output is printed (instead of the string "foobar" repeated for 3 lines)

If there I put a space between "<" and "(" the script run as expected:

for (( j=0; j< ( $(echo 1) + 2 ); j++ )); do echo foobar; done

so the problem might be in "<(" being interpreted as a process substitution...

Kinde regards,

Marco Romano.
