Package: bash Version: 4.1-3 Severity: normal Hi,
consider the following script: ====================================================================== #!/bin/bash job1() { echo abc sleep 1 echo def } coproc job1 echo ${COPROC[0]} echo ${COPROC[1]} ( while read i ; do echo $i ; done ) <&${COPROC[0]} wait ====================================================================== (Most important here is the "${COPROC[0]}" which for me expands to 63 or similar, a number >10) Running it: $ ./test.sh 63 60 ./test.sh: line 14: ${COPROC[0]}: Bad file descriptor $ So COPROC[0] is "63". Using "<&{COPROC[0]}" (just to make sure I tried everything) instead leads to: $ ./test.sh 63 60 ./test.sh: line 14: {COPROC[0]}: ambiguous redirect $ Maybe this is related to #423400. Not sure.
