It's a bug in /bin/bash: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3743 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6780158 Jan Hnatek @ Sun has a source patch http://markmail.org/message/ufpp3vm54sxijd74 http://cr.opensolaris.org/~hnhn/bash_6780158/usr/src/cmd/bash/text.c.patch.html I'm surprised the bug is still there in b118.
